Kathe Kollwitz's group ‘Dle Miitter' huddles together, arms and hands in a circular, protective embrace to shield against danger. The whites ot their eyes show terror as they stand like a group at trightened rabbits. In the black 3 and white simplicity of the woodcut, they are as it camoutlaged, presenting a stark but emotive vision or humanity.
