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.
His work can be found in the permanent collections of many institutions, including at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles, CA; and The Tate, London, UK.
