Raw, unprettified and decried in conservative circles as “gutter art”: Käthe Kollwitz employed her art uncompromisingly as a political voice for the social and human misery of her time. Her focus always lay on the dignity of humankind. The volume provides a wide-ranging insight into the commitment and creative work of the artist, whose achievements are more topical than ever. The book covers the entire spectrum of Kollwitz’ creative work with the world-famous cycles of graphic works A Weavers’ Revolt and Peasants’ War, rare proofs and moving drawings and sculptures, thereby showing all facets of her masterful skills. The political dimension of Kollwitz’ art becomes tangible in a particularly impressive manner through her posters. The unbroken validity of her work is demonstrated in a juxtaposition with the interventions by the artist Mona Hatoum (b. 1952), which revolve around topics such as vulnerability, persecution and the experience of conflict.

StumpelRau, ungeschönt, in konservativen Kreisen als »Rinnsteinkunst« verschrien: Kompromisslos setzt Käthe Kollwitz ihre Kunst als politisches Sprachmittel für das soziale und humane Elend ihrer Zeit ein. Stets steht dabei die Würde des Menschen im Fokus. Der Band gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in Engagement und Schaffen der Künstlerin, deren Werk aktueller denn je ist.Mit den weltberühmten Grafikzyklen Ein Weberaufstand und Bauernkrieg, seltenen Probedrucken sowie berührenden Zeichnungen und Skulpturen deckt das Buch das gesamte Spektrum von Kollwitz\' Wirken ab und zeigt alle Facetten ihres virtuosen Könnens. Besonders eindrucksvoll wird die politische Dimension ihrer Kunst anhand ihrer Plakate greifbar. Die ungebrochene Gültigkeit ihres Werks führt die Gegenüberstellung mit den Interventionen der Künstlerin Mona Hatoum (* 1952) vor Augen, die um Themen wie Verletzlichkeit, Vertreibung und Konflikterfahrung kreisen.
