    Detail Hand painted, Vers. II
    Design Johanna Künzli, 1957
    Height 25 cm

    Her skin is snow-white, her fingernails are painted magenta and her lips a shiny bright pink. On her head, with blue hair, the young woman is carrying a shiny yellow calabash, which looks like an oversized lemon. This is what Johanna Künzli’s Summer looks like. Her figure, designed for the Manufactory in 1957, is influenced by the “new look” that emigrated to the USA with the artistic avant-garde and did not return to Germany until after the War. Despite the strangely abstract body, the figure seems refreshingly full of life and seems to symbolise the sweet summer on the Côte d’Azur.
