ERNST BARLACH (1870-1938) ... illustrations...woodcuts...a happy Walpurgisnacht!



illustrations from

Goethes Walpurgisnacht

 

Terrible enchanted forms,
Dragon-women, men-wolf swarms!
Wilder yet the sounds are growing!
See, the archfiend comes, all-glowing!
From the ground
Hellish vapours rise around! 

from  THE FIRST WALPURGIS-NIGHT.
