EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fugitives, captured in this striking lithograph by Ernst Barlach, transports viewers to the tumultuous era of 1916/1917. This powerful artwork showcases Barlach's mastery of expressionism, a groundbreaking artistic movement that sought to convey intense emotions through distorted forms and vivid colors. In this piece, a lone man is depicted running away from an unseen threat, his face etched with fear and determination. The use of bold lines and dramatic shading adds depth and intensity to the scene, evoking a sense of urgency and desperation. Barlach skillfully captures the essence of being on the run - the physical exertion, mental strain, and constant vigilance. The image is accompanied by a thought-provoking phrase: "The Fugitives". This proverbial concept invites contemplation on themes such as escape, survival instincts, or even societal pressures that drive individuals to flee their circumstances. It serves as a reminder that throughout history people have been forced into desperate situations where they must make difficult choices for their own well-being. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this print stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a poignant reflection on human nature. It reminds us that art has always played an essential role in capturing historical moments while offering profound insights into our shared experiences.
