The Princeton University Art Museum will be the first and only venue in the United States for Myth and Modernity: Ernst Barlach's Images of the Nibelungen and Faust, an exhibition conveying the versatility and narrative power of the German sculptor, printmaker, and playwright Ernst Barlach (1870-1938). Several sculptures, as well as two of the artist's cycles on German literary classics, twenty woodcuts depicting Walpurgis Night scene of Goethe's Faust and drawings illustrating the Nibelungen epic, will be on view. The exhibition is curated by Calvin Brown, associate curator of prints and drawings, and Peter Paret, professor emeritus of the Institute for Advanced Study and the author of numerous books on European history and culture, among them An Artist against the Third Reich: Ernst Barlach, 1933–1938 (2003). The exhibition will be folded into a larger showing of Barlach’s work in Germany next year.
