Woodcut.
Ebner/Gabelmann 869 H. Dube H 375. Signed and dated, as well as inscribed "1945" in printing block. On off-white paper. 10.4 x 20.8 cm (4 x 8.1 in). Sheet: 16,4 x 26,7 cm (6,4 x 10,5 in).
As of 1930, Heckel sent the so-called annual sheets to friends and collectors as New Year greetings (except for 1941). [JS].
• In this sheet from around the end of WW II, Heckel adresses the terrors of war.
• The dead young men stands for the victims of the war and thus expresses grief, while the rising sun above the lake in back stands for hope and a new beginning.
• Another copy is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
