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.
Famed for his sculptures of religious and mystical figures influenced by Gothic wood carvings, and for bulky peasant figures, which were inspired by his 1906 trip to Russia. Used emphatic gestures and angular poses to convey emotion and movement.
