Käthe Kollwitz
b. 7-8-1867; Königsberg, Prussia
d. 4-22-1945; Moritzburg, Germany
Käthe Kollwitz, committed socialist and pacifist, is best remembered for her drawings, lithography and woodcut prints. Her work evolved from Naturalism portraying details accurately, to Expressionism evoking her personal responses to the tragedies in her life.
FYI: Kollwitz lost her youngest son Peter in World War I in October 1914, was threatened with imprisonment by the Nazi's, and then lost her grandson Peter in WWII (1942).
Kollwitz also illustrated “The Weavers”, a 1892 play about the labor uprising of weavers in Silesia by Nobel Laureate Gerhart Hauptmann.
