Hunger 1923

"Hunger", a 1923 woodcut by Käthe Kollwitz, depicts a mother holding a skeletal child. The dark, stark image is characteristic of Kollwitz's style, which often explored themes of poverty and suffering. Kollwitz, known for her powerful and poignant social commentary, used her art to raise awareness of the hardships faced by the working class, especially during times of war and famine. This piece is a testament to her enduring legacy as a prominent German Expressionist artist.
