He repaid an art collector named Sally Falk by modeling two androgynous busts after her for his first solo exhibition. One of his last non-sculptural works was a set of fourteen drawings based on Friedrich Holderin poems and dedicated to his favorite model, the actress Elisabeth Berger. Now the namesake of a museum at Duisburg, he sculpted Female Torso, also called Daphne, a year before he committed suicide. His sculpture of a defeated male nude crawling helplessly on all fours with his head down, The Fallen Man, was an anti-war commentary, though this contemporary of Kathe Kollwitz and Ernst Barlach is best known for a work that looks like a stretched-out, despair- ridden version of Rodin's Thinker. FTP, name this German expressionist sculptor of solemn nudes with thin, elongated features, such as 1917's Seated Youth.
