Her focus always lay on the dignity of humankind. Taking a Stand provides wide-ranging insight into the commitment and creative work of the artist, whose achievements are more topical than ever. It covers the entire spectrum of Kollwitz’s creative work, including the world-famous cycles of the graphic works A Weavers’ Revolt and Peasants’ War, rare proofs, moving drawings, and sculptures, each of which showcases all facets of her masterful skills. The political dimension of Kollwitz’s 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 contemporary artist Mona Hatoum, which revolve around topics such as vulnerability, persecution, and the experience of conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HIRMER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081366880491,"sku":"9783777442327","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/1061\/files\/9783777442327_dd155c69-704c-4795-8c53-e3db896e0b15.jpg?v=1763496907","url":"https:\/\/store.hammer.ucla.edu\/products\/taking-a-stand-kollwitz","provider":"Hammer Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
