The Mothers 1918
Kathe Kollwitz (German) 187-1945. She was a German painter, printmaker and sculptor. She used drawing, etching, lithography, and woodcut to express the struggles of modern life during the beginning of the 20th century embracing visions of poverty, hunger, and war. Her later work took on a more expressionistic role.
She attended the Berlin School of Art in 1884, and later she went to study in Munich. Throught the Nazi regime she was forbidden to exhibit her work, which was classified as "degenerate." Her work is representative of her stron gsocial concience, formed whilst living in the poorest areas of Berling with her husband Dr Karl Kallowitz.
