Virtual Student Guide Tour: Printmaking and Womanhood, with Sinead Danagher, Calla Bai, and Alexis Boo

In this photomontage, a young woman holds her hands up to frame a floating woodcut print beside her. The print depicts a person wearing black with a sorrowful expression on their face and their hands close to their chest, as if in a self-embrace. The young woman, in a sweater and corduroys, sits on a couch by a window.
Sinead Danagher will discuss Käthe Kollwitz’s 1922–23 print The Widow I in the tour. Woodcut printed in black ink on cream wove paper. Harvard Art Museums/Busch-Reisinger Museum, Museum purchase, BR33.38. © Estate of Käthe Kollwitz, Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn.
