Discovering Ernst Barlach anew: Love in all its facets
With the special exhibition Ernst Barlach. Facets of Love, the Edwin Scharff Museum in Neu-Ulm opens an impressive insight into one of the most significant artists of Classical Modernism. Sculptures, drawings, and graphic works showcase Barlach as a sensitive observer of human closeness, longing, maternal love, temptation, and sorrow.
An art experience between language, sculpture, and emotion
The exhibition does not focus on the well-known icon but rather the inner movement behind the work. Barlach's love appears as an existential force, as a tension between affection and loss, between quiet intimacy and expressionistic intensity. Poetic texts accompany selected exhibits and create an exhibition atmosphere where the contemplation of works and aesthetic experience merge.
Barlach in dialogue with Classical Modernism
Particularly appealing are the juxtapositions with works by Edwin Scharff. Thus, two artists from the first half of the 20th century enter a silent dialogue about body, form, and human perception. Those interested in sculpture, drawing, expressionism, and art history will experience a precisely curated exhibition with clear cultural-educational value.
Tours, workshops, and education
The accompanying program includes art historical tours, literary guides, and workshops, including a course on calligraphy. This makes the exhibition also a place of cultural education: visitors encounter not only works but also the thinking and writing of Ernst Barlach. The announced start with the opening and children's vernissage underscores the open and mediating character of the house.
Museum experience in Neu-Ulm
The Edwin Scharff Museum is centrally located at Petrusplatz and combines an art museum and a children's museum under one roof. The exhibition itself, along with good accessibility, the museum's educational profile, and the focus on modern art, makes it worth visiting. Particularly pleasant: admission is free on Wednesdays, and the museum is well connected to the train station and the Ulm city center.
Conclusion
Ernst Barlach. Facets of Love promises an intense art experience full of feeling, consciousness of form, and art historical depth. Anyone wanting to experience Barlach's expressive imagery in a calm, focused exhibition should definitely visit this event live in Neu-Ulm.
