Barlach concentrated on depiction of the human figure , while much of matars creativity focused on representation of animals . the work of these two sculptors has in common a conscious search for what is constant in nature and human existence rather than depiction of hectic everyday life 两者的共同处就是：两人的作品都不但不会受到日常忙乱生活的气氛所影响，反而是有意识地在自然界或人类的存在之中寻找一些恒常的东西。
