Artist
Käthe Kollwitz 1867 – 1945
About the work
The etching ‘Uprising‘ is the earliest result of the artist’s artistic engagement with the theme of the German Peasants’ War. Created three years before work began on the series of prints, the original title of this sheet was ‘Peasants’ War’ and was later renamed. Käthe Kollwitz wrote about it in 1921: After I created the small sheet with the woman hovering, the same theme occupied my mind for quite a while and I was hoping to be able to represent it in such a way that I could finish it.’
