Seed Grain Shall Not Be Milled is a quotation from Goethe that Kollwitz originally used in a 1919 open letter protesting the continuation of World War I. This print, made in 1942, is a response to the Nazi edict that children were to be recruited for the German army.
The lithograph is Kollwitz's last print, one of three known copies of this edition. The lithographic stone was destroyed in the 1943 bombing of Berlin, which partially damaged Kollwitz's studio. Kollwitz died two years later, days before the end of the war she so strongly opposed.
Käthe Schmidt Kollwitz (1867-1945) was a German artist best known for her drawings and prints, which offer a compassionate and often unsettling account of the human condition. A master of etching, lithography and woodcut, she chronicled in her work the lives of working people in the face of hunger, poverty and war.
