Synopsis
This collection explores Kollwitz's most creative years, examining her sequences of images, with a focus on the tension between making and meaning. German printmaker K the Kollwitz (1867-1945) is known for her unapologetic social and political imagery; her representations of grief, suffering, and struggle; and her equivocal ideas about artistic and political labels. This volume explores Kollwitz's obsessive printmaking experiments with the evolution of her images, and assesses the unusually rich progressions of preparatory drawings, proofs, and rejected images behind Kollwitz's compositions of struggling workers, rebellious peasants, and grieving mothers. This selected catalogue of the Dr. Richard A. Simms collection at the Getty Research Institute provides a bird's-eye view of Kollwitz's sequences of images as well as the interrelationships among prints produced over multiple years. The meanings and sentiments emerging from Kollwitz's images are not, as is often implied, unmediated expressions of her politics and emotions. Rather, Kollwitz transformed images with deliberate technical and formal experiments, seemingly endless adjustments, wholesale rejections, and strategic regroupings of figures and forms--all of which demonstrate that her obsessive dedication to making art was never a straightforward means to political or emotional ends. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the Getty Research Institute at the Getty Center December 3, 2019, to March 29, 2020 and at the Art Institute of Chicago May 30 to September 13, 2020., This collection explores Kollwitz's most creative years, examining her sequences of images, with a focus on the tension between making and meaning.

    Great seller - book was shipped out promptly (same day!), in great condition (as described), and was well packaged. Book ordered was a vintage paperback, and the seller cut a piece of cardboard to protect it from being bent in transit, which I really appreciate. Great deal for a hard to find book, as well, even with shipping cost. Will absolutely order from this seller again in future.

    I had a smooth and effortless transaction with this eBay seller; satisfied with the book ordered. The book, fairly priced, was as described and arrived especially fast, and securely packaged. Will be revisiting this store in the near future; found that they have a wide and varied selection of materials from which to choose. Thank you.
