Käthe Kollwitz is considered one of the most important artists of modern age. Born in 1867 in what now is known as Kaliningrad, Russia, she moved to Munich as a young woman to study art and painting. She quickly began to focus on other mediums, working with a wide variety of them – Kollwitz delved into drawing, etching, lithography, printmaking and sculpture. Even though her work is diverse in technique, one thing is consistent: it is filled with emotion and portrays universal human experiences.
Her art also expressed Kollwitz's views of society, and she quickly became recognized as a humanitarian and advocate for social justice. Her expressive aesthetic language and powerful themes helped expand frontiers for female artists in Germany and the world.
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag – Happy 150th birthday, Käthe!
