The fifth and final Bauhaus portfolio is entirely dedicated to depictions of people. Erich Heckel carved Der Narr (The Fool) during the First World War (1914–18) while working as a medical orderly on the Flemish front. The clothing of this ‘fool’ suggests that he is a soldier. Heckel had previously portrayed two soldiers in similar uniforms.
