Template for our bust were numerous photos of Thomas Mann. We had decided to model him with the brooding, questioning look, with which he was mostly photographed. In particular, the left raised eyebrow seems to have been a hallmark of Mann. Mann was one of the most important writers of the 20th century and, more than this, had highly regarded opinions on political, cultural and social subjects.
After initial skepticism, he was a staunch defender of the Weimar Republic.
It was our concern to capture both his seriousness in secular themes, but also his skeptical-ironic distance from his novel characters, in our bust. We see our bust as a portrait of that critical observer and questioner, as Thomas Mann probably saw himself at that time.
Thomas Mann
1875 - 1955
Thomas Mann was a German writer who emigrated under Nazi rule and became a US citizen in 1943. He is considered as one of the most important German writing narrators in the 20th century. For his first novel Buddenbrooks (1901) he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929.
His older brother Heinrich and three of his children (Erika, Klaus and Golo) were writers, too.

We have sculpted more than 2500 different busts and so we think that we certainly are the sculptors who modeled the most busts Europe wide. With this experience, we have constantly optimized our work flow as listed below.
Of course, you are cordially invited to visit us in our studio in Mülheim/Ruhr to see the different variations and finishes. We would be please to advise you!
Sculpting
We sculpt the bust on the computer in contrast to the traditional sculptors and modellers. We use ultra-modern and even self-developed software. Of course, educated artists sculpt the bust.
Manufacturing the bust
For the production of the real bust we use several 3D printers.
