Exhibition History

Exhibition History

A Process of Protest

July 28 - November 26, 2006

This is the third sheet of Kollwitz’s first series, A Weaver’s Revolt, a semi-narrative depiction of the historical uprising of Silesian weavers in 1844. To carry out the project, Kollwitz experimented with a number of different compositions and printing techniques, finally rejecting an etched version in favor of lithography. The print exhibits Kollwitz’s early lithographic style, in which she employed short strokes reminiscent of her etching technique. After 1910, she replaced this style with that of the free, broadly drawn lithographs on display nearby.
