KÄTHE KOLLWITZ

"In the early decades of the twentieth century  when many artists were experimenting with the
language of abstraction and the leading figures were almost exclusively men  Kèathe Kollwitz
(German  1867-1945) achieved unlikely renown for her figurative prints focusing on the
hardships of women and the working class. Convinced that printed art was the most effective
organ of social criticism  she developed into one of history's most outstanding graphic
artists. This catalogue traces the development of Kollwitz's career from the 1890s until her
death in 1945  showcasing approximately 120 rarely seen examples of her work in prints 
drawings  and sculpture. In addition to highlighting the unprecedented way that Kollwitz
asserted the female point of view as a necessary and powerful agent for change  the publication
also explores her intensive  eversearching creative process. Essays examine crucial aspects of
Kollwitz's art  career  and legacy  including her professional life and connections in Berlin 
her groundbreaking approach to the subject of women's grief  and her work's reception in the
