Käthe Kollwitz Prints and Multiples

German, 1867-1945
Käthe Kollwitz (1867 – 1945) was a German artist who studied both painting and printmaking. However she turned exclusively to print making in the early 1890s. Influenced by fellow German artist Max Klinger, she saw the potential of the print for social commentary. Prints could be reproduced inexpensively and in multiples, allowing her to reach more people.. Her most famous art cycles, including "A Weavers' Revolt" and "Seven Woodcuts on War", depict the effects of poverty, hunger and war on the working class. Despite the realism of her early works, She is now more widely associated with German Expressionism. Kollwitz was the first woman to be elected to the Prussian Academy of Arts. For the next 50 years she produced dramatic, emotion-filled etchings, woodcuts, and lithographs. Initially, her husband’s working-class patients were models. But eventually Kollwitz’s subject matter became a reflection of her own experience as a witness to both World Wars. She was devastated by the suffering and loss of human life, including the loss of a son in the first war and a grandson in the second. Although Kollwitz’s wrenching subjects and virtuoso technique soon made her work popular throughout Germany and the Western world, they also generated controversy. In 1933, the Nazi government forced her to resign her position as the first female professor appointed to the Prussian Academy; soon thereafter she was forbidden to exhibit her art.

By Koloman Moser

Located in Palm Beach, FL

Koloman Moser (1868 –1918), AUSTRIAN Instead of applying his flair and art education solely to painting, Koloman Moser embodied the idea of Gesamt Kunstwerk (all-embracing art work) by designing architecture, furniture, jewelry, graphics, and tapestries meant to coordinate every detail of an environment. His work transcended the imitative decorative arts of earlier eras and helped to define Modernism for generations to come. Moser achieved a remarkable balance between intellectual structure (often geometric) and hedonistic luxury. Collaborating with Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann, the artist was an editor and active contributor to Ver Sacrum, (Sacred Spring), the journal of the Viennese Secession that was so prized for its aesthetics and high quality production that it was considered a work of art. The magazine featured drawings and designs in the Jugendstil style (Youth) along with literary contributions from distinguished writers from across Europe. It quickly disseminated both the spirit and the style of the Secession. In 1903 Moser and Hoffmann founded and led the Wiener Werkstatte (Viennese Workshop) a collective of artisans that produced elegant decorative arts items, not as industrial prototypes but for the purpose of sale to the public. The plan, as idealistic then as now, was to elevate the lives of consumers by means of beautiful and useful interior surroundings. Moser’s influence has endured throughout the century. His design sensibility is evident from the mid-century modern furniture of the 1950s and ‘60s to the psychedelic rock posters...

Sharpening the Scythe (Beim Dengeln) from Kathe Kollwitz' Peasant War Series
Sharpening the Scythe (Beim Dengeln) from Kathe Kollwitz' Peasant War Series

Sharpening the Scythe (Beim Dengeln) from Kathe Kollwitz' Peasant War Series

By Käthe Kollwitz

Located in Alamo, CA

This framed etching and drypoint print is entitled "Beim Dengeln" (Sharpening the Scythe) by Kathe Kollwitz from her Der Bauernkrieg (The Peasant War or Revolt) series. It was originally created in 1905, but reprinted later. It depicts a woman in half-length, sharpening a scythe very close to her face. Her expression reveals a great deal of emotion, including determination, as well as concern for her future, as well as her comrades during and following the coming conflict. Kollwitz' Peasant War series of seven prints was inspired by the German peasant outbreak of 1525, led by a woman named Black Anna. The peasants rebelled against the oppressive systems of serfdom and feudalism. Although the outbreak was brutally put down, it did mark a turning point for peasants, who realized that they could fight for a better life against the upper class. The seven images that make up The Peasant War images document the hardships of the peasants, the preparation for and the eventual battle scenes and the resultant sad fate of the peasants. Kollwitz' work demonstrates her unflagging commitment to the plight of the oppressed and disempowered in any era. The Peasant War series not only makes a socio-political statement about oppressed people, but also speaks to the role of strong female figures in their struggle for equality and a better life. Kollwitz broke with tradition by telling most of the story of the peasants revolt from the viewpoint of the women involved. In this revolt against the compulsory labor, cruel worker treatment and crippling taxes enforced on feudal peasantry, Kollwitz found similarities with the plight of the working class in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. In this series and specifically in this print, as well as her other works, Kollwitz demonstrates her genius at communicating the raw emotions, suffering and human power of her subjects, in this case the determination and desperation of the peasants, through mere etched and engraved lines and ink transferred to paper. This print with its full margins is presented in a bleached birch wood frame with a double white mat. The print and the frame are in very good condition. The frame measures 23.5" high, 22.5" wide and 1.75" deep. “1921” is printed in plate in the lower right corner. There is an adjacent von der Becke Berlin Halensee blindstamp at the lower right margin edge. References: Klipstein 90, Hinz 36, Knesebeck 88 xiv-c/xiv-c Käthe Kollwitz...
