Description
Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was a German Expressionist painter, printmaker and sculptor who witnessed and portrayed working-class people without portraiture, but instead through the empathetic and often stinging gaze of social and political criticism. For almost 150 years, Käthe Kollwitz’s art has never lost its power to stay relevant, and to move people with her humanist and expressionistic gaze that witnessed two World Wars and worldwide economic Depression. A highly skilled artist, it is Kollwitz’s heart that touches viewers, still.
