Otto Freundlich's sculpture of a head, 1937
In the half-light of the exhibition a massive head built of rough, blocky planes, its eyes and mouth cut as simple slabs, rests on a low plinth beneath a label headed KOPF, a tall carved figure standing in the shadow beside it; the camera moves in until the face fills the view. Otto Freundlich's sculpture of 1912, which he called The New Man, was chosen for the cover of the exhibition guide; Freundlich, a Jew, was deported from France in 1943 and murdered.
