The German printmaker, draftsman, and sculptor Kathe Kollwitz's images of mothers and children and of protest against social injustice have long been admired by both critics and the public. Kollwitz adhered to a figurative style in the era of abstraction and she depicted socially-engaged subject matter when it was unfashionable. Critics have often focused on those issues and have rarely studied the ways in which the artist manipulated technique and resolved formal problems. This illustrated book redresses this imbalance, portraying Kollwitz as an innovative and virtuosic artist rather than as merely a chronicler of particular themes. The book consists of three essays on Kollwitz - Elizabeth Prelinger provides a reassessment of Kollwitz as an artist; Alessandra Comini presents a discussion of Kollwitz's life in Berlin during the tumultuous period that spanned two world wars; and Hildegard Bachert surveys the reception of Kollwitz in Germany and America as manifested in collections of her works. The volume, which includes a selection examples of Kollwitz's work, juxtaposes preparatory drawings with finished art, illustrating the arduous experimental process by which she attained her results. Themes important to Kollwitz - such as self portraits, political and social activism as illustrated in the cycles "The Weavers' Rebellion" and "The Peasants' War", love and death, nudes, workers, and war and revolution - are explored in all media.

   A genration after her death, German artist Kathe Kollwitz is winning a reputation as one of the great graphic artists of the 20th Century. Concentrating on the more "democratic" media-especially etchings, lithographs, posters, and woodcuts, as well as sculpture and bronze reliefs-Kollwitz always created for the people, rather than for the upper class collector. Unlike the volputuous odalisques so often depicted by male artists, Kollowitz's women are joyous or grief stricken, thoughtful or shielding mothers; forlorn, pregnant, widows; tender friends; prostitutes; militant pacifists or revolutionaries in action. In her sensitive narrative, Martha Kearns establishes Kollwitz's contributions to western art, and especially to women's art. This original paperback is generously illustrated with many striking, seldom-see reproductions from private collections, assembled in one volume for the first time.

320 S. Gebrauchtes Exemplar in sehr gutem Zustand. KEINE Eintragungen/Markierungen. Die ernsten, ausdrucksstarken Werke der Malerin, Bildhauerin und Graphikerin Käthe Kollwitz (18671945) sind, vielfach in Auflagendrucken wie Publikationen reproduziert, ungemein populär. Umso erstaunlicher ist, dass Lebensumstände, Begegnungen, ja ganze biographische Stationen einer der bedeutendsten Künstlerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts weitgehend im Dunkeln liegen. Dieser Band, der kein klassischer Katalog sein will, stellt nicht allein ausgewählte Exponate der gleichnamigen Ausstellung in opulenten Bildstrecken vor, etwa Druckgraphiken mit Bezug zu Berlin oder den berühmten »Weberzyklus«. Vielmehr ergründen wunderbar lesbare Beiträge ihre künstlerische Findungsphase, fangen den Zeitgeist ein, erfassen ihre bemerkenswert liberale, emanzipierte Haltung, ihre politischen Ambitionen, aber auch beschwerliche Erlebnisse. Die Autoren widmen sich in reich illustrierten Essays Kollwitz' Leben in der Weißenburger Straße 25, erhellen dank umfänglicher Recherchen ihren Alltag in Prenzlauer Berg oder ihr Verhältnis zur Sowjetunion Themen, die bisher nicht oder nur marginal verhandelt wurden. - Wir versenden aus unserem deutschen Lager heraus in plastikfreien oder wiederverwendeten Polstertaschen.

“I want to have an effect during this age in which people are so perplexed and in need of help.”—Käthe Kollwitz, 1922.   This sentence, as topical today as it was almost one hundred years ago, is the creed of a great artist. Käthe Kollwitz achieved worldwide respect with her drawings, printed graphics, and sculptures even during her lifetime. With her great cycles of graphic works Ein Weberaufstand (A Weaver’s Revolt) and Bauernkrieg (The Peasants’ War), Kollwitz demonstrated her remarkable skills as a graphic artist at an early age. From the start of her career, her etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts were included in the collections of renowned art institutes. Her fame as an artist grew steadily and she eventually became the first woman appointed professor by the Prussian Academy of Arts in 1919. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this monograph offers an extensive overview of the life and work of one of the most important German artists of Classic Modernism.

This is the first biography in English of the remarkable German artist Kathe Kollwitz. For more than 60 years Kollwitz expressed through her work the ideas that obsessed her: the plight of the oppressed, the causes of peace and social justice, the joys and sorrows of motherhood, and the mystery of death. Married in her youth to a doctor, who bore him two songs, one of whom was killed in World War I. Her earliest major success..a series of prints called 'Weavers,' based on a revolt of Silesian weavers as dramatized in a play by Gerhart Hauptmann...caused her to become known as the 'socialist artist.' She continued all her life in her social concerns, and in World War I produced some of her most powerful works to express her anti-war feelings. Nevertheless, her outward life was not untypical of an ordinary housewife, and it is from her experience as a mother that much of her most expressive work was formed. Her last years were spent in the nightmare of Hitler's Germany where she was forbidden to teach and where her work was labeled 'degenerate.' This book brings together her life and art, showing through reproductions of her drawings, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, and sculpture how each contributes toward and understanding of this complex woman, one of our century's most moving artists.

»Ich will wirken in dieser Zeit, in der die Menschen so ratlos und hilfsbedürftig sind.« Dieser Satz, ein Tagebucheintrag aus dem Jahr 1922 und noch heute so aktuell wie damals, ist das Bekenntnis einer großen Künstlerin. Premium. 304 Seiten, 24 x 28 cm,

One of the great German Expressionist artists, Kaethe Kollwitz wrote little of herself. But her diary, kept from 1900 to her death in 1945, and her brief essays and letters express, as well as explain, much of the spirit, wisdom, and internal struggle which was eventually transmuted into her art.
