Ernst Barlach
Ernst Heinrich Barlach (2 January 1870 – 24 October 1938) was a German
expressionist sculptor,
medallist,
printmaker and writer. Although he was a supporter of the war in the years leading to
World War I, his participation in the conflict made him change his position, and he is mostly known for his sculptures protesting against the war. This created many conflicts during the rise of the
Nazi Party, when most of his works were confiscated as
degenerate art. Stylistically, his literary and artistic work would fall between the categories of twentieth-century
Realism and
Expressionism.
