Ernst Barlach Expressionist Sculpture Der Berserker Samurai Ninja Bronze Statue

We offer our rendition of Ernst Barlach's "Der Berserker", The Berserk. Mr. Barlach was born on January 2, 1870 in Wedel, Holstein. He studied from 1888 to 1891 at the Gewerbeschule Hamburg. Due to his artistic talent, he continued his studies at the K¶nigliche Akademie der bildenden Knste zu Dresden (Royal Art School Dresden) as a student of Robert Diez between 1891 and 1895. He created his first major sculpture during this time, Die Krautpflckerin (The Herb Plucker). He continued his studies for one more year in Paris at the Acad©mie Julian, but remained critical of the German tendency to copy the style of French artists. Nevertheless he returned to Paris again for a few months in 1897 to undertake further studies. "Barlach was a German expressionist sculptor, printmaker and writer. And "Der Berserker I", created in 1910, was one of a few earlier symbols which Barlach believed expressed aspects of the War. As it turned out to be, Berserker was the earlier development of his most famous Der Racher sculpture.
