The Seventh Day, 1920
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ernst Barlach is a captivating woodcut print that explores the concept of creation and rest. In this thought-provoking artwork, Barlach depicts a bearded man sitting in deep contemplation, surveying the Earth with an expressionist touch. The image draws inspiration from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, where God rests on the seventh day after creating the world. Barlach's artistic movement and German heritage shine through as he skillfully captures both religious symbolism and human emotion. The intricate details of this print showcase Barlach's mastery of woodcut technique, highlighting his ability to convey complex ideas through art. The man's facial hair adds depth to his character, emphasizing his wisdom and connection to spirituality. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "The Seventh Day" invites viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs about creationism and Christianity. It serves as a reminder that even deities need moments of rest and reflection. Barlach's work continues to inspire generations with its profound exploration of faith, humanity, and our place within the cosmos. This print is not only a testament to his artistic genius but also an invitation for us all to pause amidst our busy lives and find solace in introspection – just like God did on that seventh day so long ago.
