Literature:

For a discussion of this bronze and the sketches see Jirí Mašín, "Jan Štursa 1880-1925" where "The Wounded" is illustrated on several pages; a copy of the pages from the book accompanies this lot.

Note:

Jan Štursa was a celebrated Czech Modernist. When WWI broke out, Štursa served on the front lines, which affected him deeply. Derived from sketches of companions trapped on the wire, this sculpture was a monument to the horrors and trauma of the war.
