Description
Käthy Kollwitz. "Death & Woman". (1867-1945) Early 20th Century German artist of considerable acclaim and by the beginning of WWI, she was one of the most prominent graphic artists in the country and known for her various social, political associations. When her son was killed in battle in WWI, it only fueled Kollwitz's anti-war sentiment already visible in her early works of war and poverty with unflinching images of tragedy, of women grieving lost children and other galvanizing subjects all important and recurring themes.
Etching, drypoint, printed in black on heavy off-white laid paper. Etching has in very small block letters (one needs a loop to read) on lower left corner Orig Rao Von Kate Kollwitz and on lower far right corner "Druck V O Felsing, Berlin Chittog" and what appears a blind embossed stamp (possibly paper brand)
Etching is in excellent condition as examined in frame. It has been matted to 18 x 18" square. The frame itself is of poor quality. We will ship in frame on request but the glass will be removed. Estimated Value $2,000 - 4,000
