Ernst Barlach
(German, 1870-1938)
Gang im Schatten (Walk in the Shadow), 1922
Lithograph on paper
7 1/4" x 7 3/4"
Pencil-signed and numbered (#77/ 100) to the bottom margin. The glazed frame measures 13" x 13 1/2" x 1".
Ernst Barlach was an early and influential German expressionist sculptor and printmaker whose harrowing experience in the first World War led him to staunchly anti-war themes throughout his artistic career. As with many of his contemporaries, Barlach was condemned by the Nazi Party as a "degenerate artist," and much of his art was consequently confiscated and destroyed.
Good condition, noting minor wrinkling to the sheet from handling.
