Nicol, Das Fabelwesen im Wohnzimmer, Frankfurter Neue Presse, Nr. 211, Frankfurt a. Main, 25.11.1978, S. 18. Von biomorpher Form zu kubischen Elementen Hans Steinbrenner (1928–2008) verdingt sich in den Nachkriegsjahren bei den US-Streitkräften als Plakatmaler und Grafiker. Von 1946 bis 1949 studiert er an der damaligen Werkkunstschule Offenbach am Main (heute Hochschule für Gestaltung). 1949 bis 1952 besucht er die Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main und wird dort Meisterschüler von Hans Mettel (1903–1966), im Anschluss wechselt er von 1952 bis 1954 ebenfalls als Meisterschüler bei Toni Stadler (1888–1982) an die Akademie der Bildenden Künste in München. Während Hans Steinbrenner sich in seinem Frühwerk noch an seinen Lehrern in Frankfurt und München orientiert, wird ihn die Begegnung mit den Bildhauern Constantin Brâncusi (1876–1957) und Henri Laurens (1885–1954) nachhaltig prägen. Auch der Einfluss von Hans Arp (1886–1966) ist sowohl in seinen kubisch-abstrakten Quaderskulpturen als auch in seinen charakteristischen, überlebensgroßen biomorphen Figuren vor allem aus Holz nachfühlbar, wie beispielsweise bei unserer überlebensgroßen Arbeit mit dem Titel 'Große Vegetative'. Ab den späteren 1960er Jahre schließlich findet Steinbrenner zu einer plastischen Sprache, die, wie hier an zwei Beispielen anschaulich, auf kubische Elemente zurückgreift und menschliche Proportionen aufnimmt. Von da an nennt der Künstler seine Skulpturen ohne weitere namentliche Unterscheidung 'Figur'. Und so verfährt der Bildhauer auch mit dieser zunächst aus einem Holzstamm geschlagenen und dann in Bronze gegossenen Stele. Mit zeichnerischer Präzision reduziert er die Anschauung des menschlichen Körpers zu streng geometrischen, aufeinander gestapelten Formen, deren einzelne Elemente nicht symmetrisch angeordnet, sondern geringfügig gegeneinander verschoben sind. Die rhythmisierte Vertikale verleiht der Skulptur jeweils eine lebendig wirkende Silhouette und auch die Bewegtheit der Oberflächen steht in einem spannungsreichen Kontrast zur strengen Materialität, wie bei der rund 200 Zentimeter hohen 'Stele' aus Stein aus dem Jahr 1985.

Nicol, Das Fabelwesen im Wohnzimmer, Frankfurter Neue Presse, no. 211, Frankfurt a. Main, November 25, 1978, p. 18. From biomorphic forms to cubic elements In the post-war years, Hans Steinbrenner (1928-2008) worked as a poster painter and graphic designer for the US army. From 1946 to 1949, he studied at the former Werkkunstschule Offenbach am Main. From 1949 to 1952, he attended the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, where he joined the master class of Hans Mettel (1903-1966), before he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in the class of Toni Stadler (1888-1982) from 1952 to 1954. While Hans Steinbrenner's early work still shóws the influence of his teachers in Frankfurt and Munich, his encounters with the sculptors Constantin Brâncusi (1876-1957) and Henri Laurens (1885-1954) would have a lasting impact on him. The influence of Hans Arp (1886-1966) can also be observed in his cubic-abstract sculptures, as well as in his characteristic, oversized biomorphic figures, mainly made of wood, such as our huge work entitled 'Große Vegetative'. From the late 1960s, Steinbrenner finally attained a visual language that, as our two works demonstrate, draws on cubic elements and incorporates human proportions. Henceforth, the artist called his sculptures 'figures' without further distinguishing them by names. And this is also how the sculptor proceeded with this stele, which he first hewed from a wooden trunk and then cast in bronze. With graphic precision, he reduced the human body to strictly geometric, stacked forms, the individual elements of which are not arranged symmetrically, but slightly offset from one another. The rhythmic vertical lines lend the sculpture a lively silhouette and the dynamic surfaces also provide a fascinating contrast to the rigid materiality, as in the approximately 200 centimeter high stone 'Stele' from 1985.

A Late 17th Century Walnut and Marquetry Longcase Clock by Thomas Cruttenden of Yorke, the 10ins square brass dial with engraved centre and silvered chapter ring with Roman and Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture and with bold cast winged cherub head pattern spandrels, to the eight day two train five pillar movement striking on a bell contained in walnut and marquetry case, the rising hood with moulded cornice and spiral turned columns, trunk door inlaid with two shaped panels with flowers in a bowl, and with circular lenticel to centre, replaced plinth inlaid with similar floral panel, on bun feet 77ins high Note: Thomas Cruttenden recorded working London and York 1668-1698. He was apprenticed to Robt. Scignier in July 1668 and was then passed over to John Fromanteel until November 1677, free of The Clockmakers Company 1677. In 1680 he moved to York to establish one of the first important clock workshops in the North of England and became free of the City of York. He died in 1698. Provenance: Purchased Hotspur Antiques Ltd, 14 Lowndes Street, London SW1X 9DEExternally the clock presents very well indeed, showing wear commensurate with age and moderate usage.  There is some light shrinkage here and there on the veneer panels which is to be expected on a clock of this vintage. There is some light cracking on the door, and general chips and marks but no real areas of concern.  There is a nice patination. The item has been refurbished at some point but this would be historic. The two lower marquetry panels at the base of the trunk door have been replaced and the plinth base is later - the base has some marks. The marquetry retains good colour. The glasses have some marks but no obvious signs of damage or chips and may be considered original. The doors sits on its original hinges and functions correctly. Likewise the inner cabinet is in good condition. The weights appear original and are strung. The original winding crank is present. To the inside of the door there are various notations and pieces of information as shown in the images, relating to the clock.  The hood is in good condition, fits and locks correctly, the locking bracket appears to be original. No obvious sign of restoration but has had attention over the years on a historic basis. The mechanism and the fit is good and again appears to be contemporary with the case.  Some slight marks and one or two small wormholes, again historic, to the sides and lower hood plinth.  The dial is in very good condition but again at some point would have been re-silvered, but this is historic.  The engraving is complete and intact and the hands appear original.  The mechanism is complete although we cannot warrant the originality of all components. The clock winds, runs and sets but should be regarded as untested. The hammer and bell appear original. Overall a very nice example of this early clock. Please note we are unable to comment as to whether any additional movement would fit into the cabinet. This needs to be the decision of the prospective bidder.  Prospective bidders are strongly advised to view all images closely prior to bidding.
