“Alles Denken ist ihnen verhaßt. Sie pfeifen auf den Menschen! Sie wollen Maschinen sein, Schrauben, Räder, Kolben, Riemen - doch noch lieber als Maschinen wären sie Munition: Bomben, Schrapnells, Granaten. Wie gern würden sie krepieren auf irgendeinem Feld! Der Name auf einem Kriegsdenkmal ist der Traum ihrer Pubertät.”

— Horváth, “Jugend ohne Gott“ S.24

Käthe Kollwitz, Woman with Scythe, 1905

The Weavers, Käthe Kollwitz, 1897.

Between the births of her sons – Hans in 1892 and Peter in 1896 – Kollwitz saw a performance of Gerhart Hauptmann’s “The Weavers”. The play dramatized the oppression of the Silesian weavers in Langenbielau, and their failed revolt in 1844. Kollwitz at once ceased work on a project in progress and produced a cycle of six works on The Weavers theme, three lithographs (Poverty, Death, and Conspiracy) and three etchings (March of the Weavers, Riot, and The End). Though the works were not a literal illustration of the play, the works were a free and naturalistic expression of the workers’ misery, hope, courage, and eventual doom.
