Description
Platemark hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig offer up a bonus HoP episode featuring a conversation about a single work of art. Occasionally we will drop a BONUS EP ONE PRINT, which will take a single work and pull it apart with an eye toward exploring subject matter, technique, style, and composition. The first of these episodes features the etching Battlefield, 1907, by Käthe Kollwitz. We hope this new kind of conversation resonates, and we’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions for other great prints worthy of a 90-minute episode. Fun fact: Käthe is pronounced KAY-tuh, not Cathy; in Kollwitz, the W sounds like a V. Episode image: Käthe Kollwitz (German, 1867–1945). Battlefield, no. 6 from the series Peasants War, 1907.
