8666278 Barrikadenkampf / Barricade Fight (colour litho) by German School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Barrikadenkampf. Die Barrikade, d.h. die durch Steine, umgesturzte Wagen usw verrammelte Strasse, hat oft den revolutionar erregten Massen als Verschanzung gegen die feindliche Staatsmacht gedient. Die deutsche Revolution von 1848 kampfte ursprunglich einen guten Kampf gegen die Reaktion fur Einigung der deutschen Stamme. Aber sie scheiterte an ihren falschen, liberalistischen Ideen. Translation: Barricade Fight. The barricade, i.e. the road barricaded by stones, overturned wagons, etc., has often served the revolutionarily agitated masses as an entrenchment against the enemy state power. The German revolution of 1848 originally fought a good fight against reaction for unification of the German tribes. But it failed because of its false, liberal ideas.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking colour lithograph captures the intensity and chaos of a barricade fight during the German revolution of 1848. The scene depicts a street barricaded with stones and overturned wagons, serving as a makeshift fortification for the revolutionaries against the oppressive state power. The image conveys the sense of urgency and defiance that characterized this turbulent period in history.
The German School artist behind this powerful artwork skillfully portrays the spirit of resistance and struggle for unity among the German tribes. Despite their noble intentions, the revolution ultimately failed due to what is described as "false, liberalist ideas." This print serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by those who seek change through revolutionary means.
Originally featured in Deutsche Kulturbilder in 1934, this piece continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Germany's history. The vibrant colours and dynamic composition draw viewers into the heart of the action, inviting contemplation on themes of power, resistance, and political ideology. Barrikadenkampf / Barricade Fight stands as both a historical document and a timeless work of art that sparks reflection on past struggles for freedom and justice.
