The artwork titled “Young Man” by Arno Breker, created in 1968, belongs to the Kitsch and Neoclassicism art movements. This sculpture, characteristic of Breker’s style, embodies the genre of sculpture through its classical form and idealized representation of the human figure.
In the artwork, a young man is depicted rising gracefully on one foot, with his right hand raised in a gesture that suggests a greeting or offering. The figure is rendered with precise anatomical detail, emphasizing the muscular structure and contours of the human body. The smooth surface of the sculpture adds to the idealized and polished appearance, drawing attention to the harmonious proportions and balanced stance of the figure. The youthful expression combined with the poised and confident posture reflects Breker’s neoclassical style, which often sought to evoke the perfection and grandeur of classical antiquity.
