A friend of mine has asked me to do a reproduction of this piece, but I can't find a good reference. Any ideas? I was thinking it kind've looked like an old Dali, but can't find anything on line....anyone have a suggestion?
Ivo Saliger's Der Arzt is an emotionally powerful, allegoric depiction of the physician's epic struggle to save human life. Der Arzt features a surgeon fending off death, which has in it's grasp a patient. A real life drama involving the artist's sister, provided the inspiration for this work.
Ha. I'm afraid this had nothing to do with my art knowledge. I should have said perhaps... I did a google search with the new 'search with image' feature. =P Also, I'm a mere 165lbs, so no where near heavyweight.

Looks German expressionist to me. Never seen it in my life.
No idea.
and what does this piece mean I wonder, it looks like a doctor is pushing away death for this woman?
