SUMMARY:Voices of Suffering (Kollwitz & Orozco) @ the McNay
DESCRIPTION:Drawn from the McNay’s renowned print collection\, this exhibition brings together a selection of rarely-seen prints by Käthe Kollwitz and Jose Clemente Orozco. Personal experiences associated with the emerging workers’ movement\, Mexican Revolution\, and World War I influenced their political sympathies\, prompting Kollwitz’s deep empathy for her subjects but Orozco’s increasing cynicism about the course of history. Both artists skillfully manipulated the black-and-white medium to evoke intense emotional undercurrents of human suffering\, unspeakable grief\, and strength of will. The hardship and despair endured by downtrodden working-class women is a recurring theme throughout the haunting works on display. \nKäthe Kollwitz is an important artist of peace & justice. “The Survivors\,” shown below\, is from MOMA in NYC. \n \n
