Hans Huggler Wyse German, 1877-1947

"Huggler didn't just want to be an individual artist, but wanted to show the carving trade, with which he felt a deep connection, new ways of designing the carved wooden figures. He led wood carving away from extremely detailed figures, which were not always anatomically correct, towards anatomically correct, beautifully proportioned figures. These easy-to-understand and highly naturalistic figures were in great demand and are still hand-carved in the same style today." - Max Huggler
