After late-Expressionist beginnings in the 20s, he created in the early 30s, probably the most-respected part of his work, those strictly built, color-sparing tempera images that are the New Objectivity and the Magic Realism assigned, Barth's paintings of the early 1930s seem to express the loneliness of man in the face of a colder and more threatening social situation. The constructivist rigor of these works is transformed in the American paintings of 1936 into a more painterly style with a richer modeling of the subject matter, without abandoning the theme: the images reflect the loneliness and emptiness of the not only American "way of life" - they became repeatedly compared to works by Edward Hopper.
