Gutfreund, Otto (1889–1927). Czech sculptor. After training in Prague, he spent several months in Paris, 1909–10. He studied under
Bourdelle but he was inspired more by paintings he saw by
Braque and
Picasso and he became one of the first artists to try to apply the principles of
Cubism to sculpture. On his return to Prague in 1911 he joined the Group of Plastic Artists (see
Čapek), whose members attempted to fuse Cubism with
Expressionism. An example of his work from this time is
Cubist Bust (1912–13, Tate, London). After the First World War he developed a more naturalistic style based on folk art. He committed suicide by drowning.
