The Aesthetics of Loss' is a cultural history of German women's art of the First World
War that locates the artists' rich visual testimony in the context of the civilian
experience of war and wartime loss. Drawing on a fascinating body of visual sources
produced throughout the war years, Claudia Siebrecht examines the thematic evolution
of women's art from expressions of support for the war effort to more nuanced and
ambivalent testimonies of loss and grief. Many of the images are stark woodcuts, linocuts,
and lithographs of great iconographical power that acted as narrative tools to deal
with the novel, unsettling, and often traumatic experience of war. German female artists
developed a unique aesthetic response to the conflict that both expressed emotional
distress and allowed them to re-imagine the place of mourning women in wartime society
