Hardcover. black & red pictorial boards w/ white printing. 142 pgs w/ color & bw illustrations. This catalogue complements Christiane Baumgartner's first major museum exhibition in the U.S. and offers an in-depth introduction to the artist's work at mid-career. Baumgartner is best known for monumental woodcuts, handcarved prints that literally and conceptually expand the traditional boundaries of the medium beyond expectation. Leipzig-based artist Christiane Baumgartner (b. 1967) works at the intersection of old and new media to expand the conceptual and technical capacities of printmaking. Sourcing images from cinema and TV or from her own photographs and videos, she hand-carves woodcuts that defy convention and expectation. Often monumental in scale or undertaken in large series, the work is about speed and transmission, about human sight and its elusive capture, about cultural memory and modes of representation. Essays contextualise the work in relation to German printmaking and the Leipzig school; an interview with the artist surveys her praxis at mid-career.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Käthe Kollwitz and the Women of War: Femininity, Identity, and Art in Germany during World Wars I and II Publisher ? : ? Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College The art of German printmaker and sculptor Käthe Kollwitz (1867 1945) is famously empathetic; Kollwitz imbued her prints, drawings, and sculpture with eloquent and often painful commentary on the human condition, especially the horrors of war. This insightful book, the first English-language catalogue on Kollwitz in more than two decades, offers the singular opportunity to examine her work against the tumultuous backdrop of World Wars I and II. The societal cost of war became an enduring subject for Kollwitz after her youngest son died on the battlefield in Flanders in 1914. She dedicated much of the remainder of her career to creating images that questioned the efficacy of war, exposed its devastation, and promoted peace. The essays discuss the motifs she developed in this pursuit young widows, grieving parents alongside maternal figures that serve as defenders, guardians, activists, and mourners within the context of German visual culture from 1914 to 1945 "some cover wear, clean tight and very good" DGRAY6.…
