The Depravities of War is a series of 15 large scale woodblock prints inspired by the series of etchings by Jacques Callot called "The Miseries of War" in the seventeenth century, which in turn were the inspiration for Goya's "The Disasters of War" in the nineteenth century. Birk’s works were published by HuiPress in Hawaii in 2007. Courtesy of Catharine Clark Gallery, San Francisco, CA.
