Research into the works of the Sculptor F.m-Hirschfeld or Anglecised as Hirshfield.

the m in m-H in lowercase refering possibly to Magnus as in Magnus-Hirschfeld,the founder of Modern Sexology.

F.m-H is known to have first exhibited in 1956 in Cannes sharing Gallery space with Lorjou...in the Rue d'Antibes.

A Frank E.m-Hirshfield (born approx' 1934-6))was a successfull Wrestler in the 1960's in the Greaco-Roman style representing his country and qualifying for the 1968 Olympics to which he did not attend.

Such follows in the Tradition of the Artist Sportsman of which Vlaminck was a (Champion Wrestler) example. It has been found that at the time of the 1968 Olympics an Hirshfield (just Hirshfield)had an exhibition of small Bronzes at the Gallerie du Siècle in Paris and at the same time at Cadichon (Paris)...nowhere on the lists of Athletes attending the Mexico Games...might this be HE ?

It is hoped that as many works in Bronze (with Drawings) can be soon identified...the difficulty seeminly being that He preferred to work with Private Clients from his then Studio in Avignon.
