Inv. Nr.: 113 H

In this cycle of all together 25 prints battle scenes are the main topic. Originally a cycle about the history of weapons was planned under the title "the Battle in the Catalaunic Fields". Hrdlicka had been inspired to do so by a book entitled "The Development of Weapons" This group of works was never completed.

XX. General Jodl: "Ob ein Einheimischer mehr oder weniger überfahren wird, kann uns doch gleich sein."
(Whether one more or less native person is run over, can be all the same to us), 1974

XXIII. Hitler to General Guderian: "Do you think that the soldiers of Frederick II died voluntarily?", 1974

75,8 x 107,8 cm (60 x 94,8 cm)
Inv. Nr.: 428 H

XLV. Everyday life in Plötzensee, 1974
Etching on hand-made paper
62,9 x 89,9 cm (50,2 x 69,8 cm)
Inv. Nr.: 449 H

These three above-mentioned prints (Inv. Nr.: 425, 428, 449) belong to the cycle "Like a danse macabre ­ The events of 20 July 1944" (all together 53 prints). This is the so far largest of Hrdlicka´s cycles, in which he developed a new pictural language. This new narrative technique still appears today, e.g. in the cycle "The French Revolution". All the prints are strictly chronologically organised according to the run of events. Subject is the late revolt of some generals against Hitler. Hrdlicka looks back at the beginning of militarism in German history and starts his narration with Frederick the Great. Wholesale execution of the failed assailants are beeing described. The plot continues into the time, when Hrdlicka was working on the prints, to the Allende´s overthrow in Chile. Hrdlicka does not glorify the assailants, but shows the end of the revolt in extreme pictures.
