Käthe Kollwitz
Shipping price will be calculated at checkout. Taxes included
Käthe Kollwitz gave extraordinary weight to a face, a bowed head or a pair of hands. Her art confronts poverty, bereavement and war through the people who endure them, making intimate gestures carry a public force. Josephine Gabler’s compact monograph introduces an artist whose emotional directness remains difficult to forget.
Part of Hirmer’s Great Masters of Art series, the book brings together an account of Kollwitz’s life and reproductions of her work. Gabler’s museum expertise provides a sound starting point for understanding the relationship between personal loss, social conscience and artistic form. This English-language hardback is a considered choice for readers drawn to expressive drawing, printmaking and the darker experiences represented in modern art, with an emphasis on human dignity rather than spectacle.
