In his sculptures Ernst Barlach almost entirely focused on the human figure, developing a characteristic style that added deeply human traits to it. Based on late Art Nouveau, Barlach attained an independent style that reveals a lot of his deeply humane position. Without following any classical idea, Barlach‘s sculptures are accounts of the present man, his everyday struggle with all its sublimity and fear. The massive plasticity of his sculptures are expressions of Barlach‘s grounded attitude, his quest for truth and realityin contrast to the idealized concept of man of previous generations. Barlach did not recreate man – just as it is the case with this bronze of a "Flute Player", he just formed him the way he saw and felt him.
