Käthe Kollwitz, Mutter mit Kind auf dem Arm (Mother with Child in Her Arms). Etching.

Käthe Kollwitz, Mutter mit Kind auf dem Arm (Mother with Child in Her Arms)

Recommended by Nikki:

(Art Photographer / Marketing and Exhibitions Specialist)

Kollwitz was a nurse during WWI; and became known for her intense renderings of death and grief in her German Expressionist style. I am drawn to this etching that centers care, joy, and love equally as much as I am drawn to the ‘Death’ series. The mother’s hands and arms melt around the small child so protectively. Their faces share the same ominous shadow we cannot see (death), but the mother is smiling and choosing to foster and protect life and love, anyway.

Eva Pietzcker, Old Apple Tree (Portrait of my Father)

Recommended by Paige:

(Collections Manager / Marketing Coordinator)

Pietzcker's natural, intimate printing style is clear in this piece, which perfectly matches the content. This work makes me reconsider the function of the portrait and the process of remembrance: seeing others in the world around us when we are without them, not only in the beautiful or breathtaking but in simple, common encounters. In moments we must seek, not just expect or construct.

Shigeki Tomura, Shadows in Summer II. Drypoint with chîne-collé.

Shigeki Tomura, Shadows, in Summer II

Recommended by Rebecca:

(Gallery Associate)

Tomura's intimate renderings are wonderful, emotional landscapes. Here, Summer in Japan is shown as soft and humid, with dappled sunlight softly laying on the trees, drowsy with the warmth of it. His descriptive use of drypoint is given further tonality with the use of Chine Colle, printing on a Japanese paper, or washi, that is laminated at the same time onto a wove paper. Tomura is a master of this technique.

Paul Wunderlich, Hinter Tür (Behind Closed Doors). Lithograph.

Paul Wunderlich, Hinter Tür (Behind Closed Doors)

Recommended by Sunny:

(Collections Assistant)

Behind Closed Doors leaves you with more questions than answers. It's moody and serious, yet playful. The composition provides certain clear aspects, but others are left as a suggestion. I could look at this one for hours trying to figure it out.
