Memorial expressions and friendship: The "Floating"
One of the most famous works of Ernst Barlach, the "Floating", was created as a memorial to the victims of World War I and hung as such from 1927-1937 in a niche of the Gustrower Cathedral. However, he is on the same two ways also a memorial of friendship: The overall sculpture (catalog of works 425) such as a detailed casting "Head of Gustrower memorial" (catalog of works 426).
That the overall sculpture still exists, we owe Barlach friends.They left shortly after the artist's death in 1938 based on the existing work model make a further cast and hid it after "The floating" 1937 was classified by the Nazi authorities as "degenerate", was removed from the Cathedral, and finally even melted. It hangs today in the Antoniter Church Cologne and in turn could be used to produce a further cast for the original site.So towards masterpiece returned in 1953 in the Gustrower Cathedral and recalled there since the dates are engraved in the stone under him, to the victims of the world wars of 1914-1918 and 1939-45.
The "head of Gustrower memorial", Barlach detail cast in 1930, moreover, is a document of direct artistic friendship. His facial features are quite clear - although "no intention" as Barlach later claimed - that of his artist friend Käthe Kollwitz. Her work has been ostracized in Nazi Germany. 1936 their work has been removed from the Berlin Academy exhibition. As an artist she was henceforth practically no longer present. So acts of "head of Gustrower memorial" in retrospect as a premonition of a community of fate: It is the portrait of an artist who admired Barlach amicably and as he himself soon hard times was approaching.
