“Humility” is a sculpture created by Arno Breker in 1944, associated with the art movements of Kitsch and Neoclassicism. This artwork exemplifies the genre of sculpture, displaying characteristics reminiscent of classical forms and idealized aesthetics typical of its era.
The artwork depicts a nude female figure standing in a naturalistic pose. The sculpture presents a harmonious blend of anatomical precision and idealized beauty, in line with Neoclassical ideals. The figure’s stance, with one leg slightly bent and hands delicately poised near the chest, conveys a sense of serene grace and modesty. The contours of the body, with softly defined musculature and smooth surfaces, highlight the artist’s skill in portraying the human form. The setting, which appears to be an outdoor garden, adds to the figure’s dignified and humble presence. The overall composition, while adhering to classical sensibilities, imbues the artwork with an intimate and timeless quality.
