The art of German printmaker and sculptor Kathe Kollwitz
(1867-1945) is famously empathetic; Kollwitz imbued her prints,
drawings, and sculpture with eloquent and often painful commentary
on the human condition, especially the horrors of war. This
insightful book, the first English-language catalogue on Kollwitz
in more than two decades, offers the singular opportunity to
examine her work against the tumultuous backdrop of World Wars I
and II. The societal cost of war became an enduring subject for
Kollwitz after her youngest son died on the battlefield in Flanders
in 1914. She dedicated much of the remainder of her career to
creating images that questioned the efficacy of war, exposed its
devastation, and promoted peace. The essays discuss the motifs she
developed in this pursuit-young widows, grieving parents alongside
maternal figures that serve as defenders, guardians, activists, and
mourners-within the context of German visual culture from 1914 to
1945.
