About the Item
A heavy hitting and graphic woodcut by the Galician-Jewish illustrator and painter, Arthur Kolnik. The woodcut shows a poor woman, looking despairingly up at the sky as she cradles the head of a man lying dead before her. Contextualized by his persecution for his people's religion in the second World War, this piece takes on a much darker tone, filled with the true horror of human suffering.
The artist has signed to the lower right and inscribed and numbered (no.24) to the lower edge.
On thin pulp paper.
