"Gefallen (ii)" is a poignant and evocative work by the renowned German artist Käthe Kollwitz, created in 1921. Kollwitz, known for her profound and often somber depictions of human suffering and social injustice, produced this piece as part of her broader oeuvre that frequently addressed the tragedies of war and the plight of the working class.

The title "Gefallen," which translates to "Fallen" in English, reflects the central theme of the artwork: the loss and mourning of those who perished in World War I. This period was particularly significant for Kollwitz, as she experienced personal loss with the death of her son, Peter, in the early days of the conflict. This personal tragedy deeply influenced her work, infusing it with a sense of grief and a powerful anti-war sentiment.

"Gefallen (ii)" is a lithograph, a medium Kollwitz often employed for its ability to convey stark contrasts and deep emotional resonance. The composition typically features a group of mourners, often women, gathered around a fallen soldier, their faces etched with sorrow and despair. Kollwitz's mastery in capturing raw human emotion is evident in the detailed expressions and the somber atmosphere of the scene. The use of dark, heavy lines and the stark interplay of light and shadow further enhance the emotional weight of the piece.

Kollwitz's work, including "Gefallen (ii)," is celebrated for its empathetic portrayal of the human condition and its unflinching commentary on the horrors of war. Her art continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, serving as a powerful reminder of the personal and collective costs of conflict. "Gefallen (ii)" stands as a testament to Kollwitz's enduring legacy as an artist who used her talent to advocate for peace and social justice.
