<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 12361306, member: 2844&quot;]There is a beautiful German novel by Alfred Andersch called &quot;Sansibar oder der letzte Grund&quot;. It is about a group of people in Nazi Germany who flee by boat from a north German port to Sweden, a dangerous undertaking.</p><p>Among the people are a Jewish girl, a communist, and others who face persecution. But among the &#039;people&#039; is also a small Expressionist statue of a reading monastery student by Ernst Barlach, my favourite sculptor. It was not only considered degenerate art, but it was also an expression of someone who studies with a critical eye and forms his own opinion, not influenced by any ideology. That made it a threat to the system, as well as degenerate.</p><p><br /></p><p>The little student still exists and I&#039;ve seen it &#039;in the flesh&#039;. My heart stopped when I saw it, not only because it is perfect, but also because I had read the novel and it represented so much.</p><p>This is it:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]554048[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
