Hi Latiff,
A highly interesting picture! When I saw the German title, I immediately thought of this photo, I took some while ago, in Germany. Apparently, these persons, in both pictures, were of the same occupation. Your picture here provided more information for me. A very fine capture!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Thanks Gunnar. Your comment prompted me to look up on the work of Gerhard Marcks (1889-1981). I also discovered that there are a least three other sculptures of "Der Rufer" located in the German cities of Bremen, Aachen, and Berlin. They all look very identical. Interestingly, the one in Berlin is suppose to imply the call/shout to freedom to the people of the former state of East Germany. Thanks. Latiff.
