EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Raging Barbarian" was created by German expressionist artist Ernst Barlach around 1916 or 1917. The artwork is a powerful representation of the turbulent times in which it was made, reflecting the chaos and destruction of World War I. Barlach's unique artistic style shines through in this portrait of a fierce-looking man, his face contorted with anger and intensity. The barbarian depicted here symbolizes the primal nature that lies within all humans, unleashed during times of conflict and upheaval. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this print serves as a testament to Barlach's contribution to the artistic movement of expressionism. Known for its raw emotion and bold brushstrokes, expressionism aimed to convey inner feelings rather than objective reality. "The Raging Barbarian" invites viewers to contemplate their own capacity for violence and aggression while also acknowledging our shared humanity. It reminds us that even amidst war and chaos, there is still beauty to be found in art. As we gaze upon this striking image today, we are reminded not only of Barlach's talent but also of the historical context from which it emerged. This print stands as a poignant reminder that art has always been intertwined with our collective human experience – capturing both our darkest impulses and our enduring resilience.
