    "The Empath and the Fear of Being Forgotten (Self-Portrait for Käthe Kollwitz)" is an original mixed-media work on paper by Philip Gladstone

  • From Philip Gladstone's Pictures Within Pictures (Museum) Series, works that reference and pay homage to iconic works of art, artists and popular culture, often with a serious underlying message in this instance featuring a riff built around Käthe Kollwitz's 1923 woodcut "The Mothers" ("Die Mütter"), and featuring a portrayal of Kollwitz herself, alongside a Gladstone self-portrait (View Die Mütter on the MOMA site here, browse Gladstone's Museum Series portfolio here)

  • Image measures 11-5/8 by 14-3/8 inches (as shown, full sheet slightly larger)
  • Created in August 2024
