Product information "Ernst Barlach: Sculpture 'The Doubter' (1931), reduction in bronze"
Barlach's 'Zweifler' was created in 1931, when the ostracisation was already looming. Barlach was repeatedly and harshly attacked by National Socialist circles. The figure of the man who has sunk to his knees, begging for help, is that of a man in distress and perhaps also expresses Barlach's doubts about the humanistic power of his art. However, it has its timeless validity as an impressive depiction of doubt, uncertainty and probably also despair as a human condition.sculpture in fine bronze, cast by hand using the lost wax technique and patinated.
