In der Meunier-Ausstellung in Hagenbund. 1 „das Denkmal der Arbeit“, vor Allem aber „Sackträger“. Die Stellung der Beine! Mit der Antike ganz identisch, vom Stofflichen freilich abgesehen. Plastik ohne jede Trübung, u. Überschreitung der Grenzen. [—] Katarrh: Bäderunterbrechen. © Transcription Ian Bent, 2017 |

At the Meunier Exhibition in Hagenbund. 1 "The Monument to Labor," however, is above all the "Sack Carrier." The positioning of the legs! Absolutely identical with antiquity, admittedly apart from the material used. Sculpture without falsification or overstepping of the boundaries.
