Knud Kyhn 1931 Unique Faun and woman statue Royal Copenhagen 71 cm

KNUD KYHN FAUN 

Den ultimative faune figur af Knud Kyhn er denne unikke gruppe af en faun der omfavner nøgen kvinde, mens han knælende ser begejsret op på hende. Man kan tydeligt se de karateristiske faunetræk: hove, hale og små horn. Skulpturen er mærket med den Kongelige Porcelænsfabriks tre bølgelinier, KK signaturen og 1931. Den måler ca 71 x 50 cm og vejer ca 33 kg selv om den er hul inden i. Dekorationen er i lette, klare farver i modsætning til den tradtionelle sung glasur og der er hvad man må forvente af udekorerede områder og krakkeleringer, samt et mindre afslag. Den vil krone enhver samling af Faune eller Kyhn figurer. LINK: Flere Faune figurer

The ultimate one-of-a-kind faun figurine by Knud Kyhn is a huge group of a nude woman embraced by the faun, who is kneeling and looking excited at her. You can see his hooves, the tale and horns as the typical characteristic of a faun. It is marked with the three wavy lines of Royal Copenhagen – the signature KK and the year 1931.  Measurement is ca 71 x 50 cm and it is hollow but still the weight is more than 33 kg.  The glaze coloring is light and happy, compared to the dark sung glazes that usually are found on the production pieces of KK.  The general condition is as it should be – you will find crackled and unglazed spot as to be expected on a kind of items like this and also a small chip at one point. It will be the pearl in every collection of fauns or Knyd Kyhn works

Knud Kyhn voksede op under kunsnerisk indflydelse af sin onkel, den romantiske billedkunstner Wilhelm Kyhn, som opmuntrede den unge Kyhn og var medvirkende til hans op tagelse på Kunstakademiet.  KK droppede dog akademiet for at modtage undervisning af Lauritz Tuxen. Som maler var hans hovedinteresse at skildre den danske fauna i sine naturlige omgivelser med fokus på lys og bevægelse.

Knud Kyhns udvikling som keramikker begyndte I pottemagerværkstedet hos Karl Schrøder I Nordsjælland og I 1903 kunne Kyhn præsentere sine værker for Arnold Krog på Den kongelige Porcelainsfabrik. Denne blev begejstret og hyrede KK til at arbejde på fabrikken, hvor han blev indvolveret i udviklingen af den tidlige stentøjsproduktion sammen med Arnold Krog, Christian Joachim og Valdemar Engelhart. Men det var 20 år senere efter en periode hos henholdsvis Kähler i Næstved og Bing & Grøndahl i Valby at Knud Kyhns enorme produktion af dyrefigurer tog fart.

Hos Kähler mødte han malerpigen Julie Bloch, som han giftede sig med i 1922.

Hovedfokus var på dyrefigurerne i stentøj, først og fremmest i sung glasuren men senere også i den brune ”bjørneglasur”, hvor særligt bjørnene blev en af de største sucesser for Royal Copenhagen indenfor figurproduktion. Disse små og store brune bjørne blev så populære at flere stykker blev tilføjet serien og redesignet af Knud Kyhns yngre kollega Jeanne Grut i 1980erne.

Rækken af stentøjsemner skabt af Knud Kyhn er uendelig – hans keramik var de første i kataloget i 1912. Nr. 20001 er en gris af Knud Kyhn og den sidste med hans navn er 22292 en ugle skabt i 1967. Vi arbejder på at lave en endelig liste og så mange billeder som muligt her på www.jamerantik.dk,  men har endnu ikke overblik over hvor mange der er tale om.

Som det ses er fokus på bjørne, aber, elefanter og andre store vilde dyr.  I serien af ca 150 underglasurfigurer fra 1905 – 1933 ses, hvordan adskillige populære hunderacer og katte også var en vigtig del af KKs tematiske arbejder.

Knud Kyhn grew up under the artistic influence by among others his uncle, the romantic painter Wilhelm Kyhn, who paved the way for his early artistic education and his admission to the Royal Acadamy of Art. Kyhn later dropped out of the Acadamy and received teaching by Lauritz Tuxen. As a painter his main interest was portraiting animal life in the context of light and movement in the Danish nature.

Knud Kyhn’s carreer within pottery began at the pottery workshop of Karl Schroeder in Northern Sealand and in 1903 Kyhn was able to present some of his works to Arnold Krog at Royal Copenhagen, who was excited and hired KK to work at RC, where he became involved in the early develpoment of the stoneware production together with Arnold Krog, Christian Joachim and Valdemar Engelhart. But it was 20 years later after a period working at Bing & Grondahl and Kaehler that his enormous production of animal figurines was unfolding. His main focus was on animal figurines in stoneware and the sung glaze and later the brown “Bear” glaze became one of the largest successes of Royal Copenhagen in the area of figurines. These small and big brown bears were so popular that additional pieces in the series were redesigned by Kyhn’s younger colleague Jeanne Grut in the 1980s.

The production by Knud Kyhn in the line of stoneware is enormous – his items were the first in the catalogue in 1912. Item # 20001 is a pig by KK and his last was # 22292- an owl from April 1967. We have not yet the full overview of the total numbers of pieces –

As seen the focus is on bears, monkeys, wild animals. In the series of ca. 150 underglaze figurines from 1905 - 1933 several popular dogs and cats were added to the themes:
