This figure represents a stylistic breakthrough to abstraction and pre-empts Herman Wald’s last period. It depicts a crucial scene in the Bible, in which Man wrestles with God. After this struggle Jacob’s name became Israel. Herman Wald’s angel plunges down from heaven like a flame. The heads of the two opponents meet in a central fusion of the human and the divine.
