As a child, Ehrlich drew the horses at the cab stands in his native Vienna, and Tired Horse – made towards the end of his life – surely recalls these animals. Having studied art at Vienna’s Kunstgewerbeschule (1912–15), Ehrlich served in the Austrian army (1915–18). After the War, he worked as a printmaker in Munich and Berlin before returning to Vienna in 1923/4, where he started producing three-dimensional work. Ehrlich’s sculpture is firmly rooted in the figurative tradition, with human and animal subjects predominating. His wife Bettina, also an artist, became expert at casting and patinating Ehrlich’s bronzes. Having left Vienna for London in 1937, Ehrlich’s Jewish roots meant that it was too dangerous for him to return home after the Anschluss (March 1938), so Bettina joined him in England a few months later; in 1947, they became British citizens. They were great friends of the composer Benjamin Britten (1913-76) and his partner, the singer Peter Pears (1910-86). It was Pears who wrote the introductory essay to Ehrlich’s 1964 Arts Council exhibition booklet, stating that with his friend’s work ‘one cannot tell where craft stops and magic begins’. Pears and Britten collected many works by Ehrlich, including another version of Tired Horse, which can still be seen today at their former home, The Red House, in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. reference term-107318 adlib-term-107318 d27559f3-e90c-35cd-b7e4-46eaeb9ac521 20th Century reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country England reference term-39741 adlib-term-39741 47d44741-af05-37c3-b21e-0e278b114f3b copper alloy reference term-40365 adlib-term-40365 d79c75c2-da7b-3187-918e-f7a374e04005 bronze Weight kg 15.07 reference term-110277 adlib-term-110277 97f1ad1c-7b1d-373a-b0ae-ed010d95f37b animal figure reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ.
