At the 24th st. entrance of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts are a pair of 18th century style Chinese lions and this 18 foot tall bronze sculpture by Ernst Barlach. This is one of two copies of the 1928 untitled sculpture by Barlach, who said, "that it shows the external representation of an internal process." It has been titled "Der Geistkampfer" (The Ghostfighter) or "The Fighter of the Spirit". The winged man holding a sword is standing on the back of a wolf/lioness/beast and may symbolize the victory of the spirit of goodness over evil.
