Sheet VIII, Large Head of Wozzeck, Completely Desperate 1925

Editor: This is Walter Gramatté's "Sheet VIII, Large Head of Wozzeck, Completely Desperate." It's an undated print. The scratchy texture really amplifies the feeling of anguish, don’t you think? What do you see in the physical making of this artwork? Curator: The work resonates with the postwar socio-economic landscape. Gramatté's choice of printmaking allows for reproducibility, making art accessible beyond the elite. This work challenges traditional boundaries of art, craft, labor, and consumption. Do you agree? Editor: That's fascinating! I hadn’t considered the role of printmaking in democratizing art. I see the process and materials in a whole new light now.
