"Mary and Elizabeth" is a woodcut by German artist Kathe Kollwitz, renowned for her expressive depictions of human suffering. The work showcases Kollwitz's signature style, characterized by bold lines and stark contrasts. The woodcut depicts a poignant scene of two figures, likely representing Mary and Elizabeth, with a focus on the interaction of their hands. The composition, with its emphasis on close-up detail and the use of chiaroscuro, highlights the intimacy and emotion of the moment. Kollwitz's art often explored themes of poverty, war, and motherhood, and this piece is a powerful example of her commitment to social justice.
