Pablo Picasso claimed that he did not design according to nature, but like nature. Sculptors like Henry Moore or Lajos Barta \u2013 whose works always appear organic despite their abstraction \u2013 also pursue this goal.<\/p>\n
This large round stele is located in a grassy area near the Aachener Weiher. It is positioned atop a slight hill that was formed out of war debris. Its dimensions first become apparent as you approach the sculpture, and the amorphous, yet carefully composed form can be observed by walking around it.<\/p>\n
The foot of the sculpture is separated from the body by a deep groove; a larger cavity running in opposite direction fits within a voluminous bulge, marking the transition to the head section.<\/p>\n
In this way \u2013 despite its abstract modern formal language \u2013 the sculpture is reminiscent of an object that could have grown naturally or an artifact of a long-forgotten ancient culture.<\/p>\n
