"German printmaker Kathe Kollwitz (1867-1945) is known for her unapologetic social
and political imagery; her representations of grief, suffering, and struggle; and
her equivocal ideas about artistic and political labels. This volume explores her
most creative years, roughly the late 1890s to the mid-1920s, highlighting the tension
between making and meaning throughout her work. Correlating Kollwitz's obsessive printmaking
experiments with the evolution of her images, it assesses the unusually rich progressions
of preparatory drawings, proofs, and rejected images behind Kollwitz's compositions
of struggling workers, rebellious peasants, and grieving mothers. This selected catalogue
of the Dr. Richard A. Simms collection at the Getty Research Institute provides a
bird's-eye view of Kollwitz's sequences of images as well as the interrelationships
among prints produced over multiple years. The meanings and sentiments emerging from
Kollwitz's images are not, as is often implied, unmediated expressions of her politics
and emotions. Rather, Kollwitz transformed images with deliberate technical and formal
experiments, seemingly endless adjustments, wholesale rejections, and strategic regroupings
of figures and forms-all of which demonstrate that her obsessive dedication to making
art was never a straightforward means to political or emotional ends." -- Publisher's
