Clemens Buscher

Clemens Buscher (19 June 1855, Gamburg - 8 December 1916, Düsseldorf) was a German sculptor and wood carver.

After completing elementary school, he worked in the family shop, which his eldest brother Karl (1844-1887) took over after their father's early death in 1866.

He began a formal apprenticeship in 1872, with the sculptor Michael Arnold [de], in Bad Kissingen, and produced his first independent works in 1874.

In 1876, together with his older brother, Sebastian [de], he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, where he studied sculpture with Joseph Knabl and Syrius Eberle.

After returning to Munich, he lived with the architect, Joseph Elsner, who helped support him and his younger brother, Thomas Buscher, who was also a sculptor.
