Defining A Zinnfiguren Collection

My aim in setting up this blog is in exploring flats (zinnfiguren) as an art form. Once thought of as playthings, flats have evolved into very artistic pieces, created for and treasured by collectors. I prefer to explore flats in a contextual setting by putting them into shadow-box dioramas of artistic merit which can be reasonably contained within a manageable space. The chronology of this web blog will hopefully blaze a definite trail in this direction.

Ilya Repin and the Cossacks

One of the best Russian realist painters. This set by Braune captures the essence of his most famous painting on the Cossacks. I finally mounted this delightful set in a simple frame against a red backdrop.
Happy Chinese New Year 2013!.
