Kaethe Kollwitz -- el artista de la pena
No deseo morir.. . hasta que he hecho fielmente el la mayoría de mi talento y he cultivado la semilla que fue colocada en mí hasta que la ramita pequeña pasada ha crecido.
La hija de un masón, Kaethe Schmidt nació de julio el 8 de 1867 en Koenigsberg, prussia del este (ahora Kaliningrad, Rusia). Era su padre que le animó a que dibujara, y cuando ella era catorce, ella comenzó lecciones del arte con el engraver Rudolf Mauer. En diecisiete ella se trasladó a Berlín en donde ella alistó en la escuela de Berlín para los artistas de las mujeres, y fue más adelante a estudiar en Munich. Después de su unión al dr. Karl Kollwitz in 1891, the couple settled in Berlin living in one of the poorest sections of the city -- in working class section. It was there that Kollwitz got exposed to a wide range of suffering and tragedy which is so powerfully reflected in her works. Her art features dark, oppressive subjects. Images of death , war and injustice dominate her work. Most of her best trabajos are tragic. The simplified purity of lithography suited her involvement in social issues. The bold shapes and distinct blacks and whites enhanced her social statements. In her finest prints she draws attention to the ongoing problems of inflation, unemployment, illness, starvation, political imprisonment and death. Kollwitz won many acknowledgements in her own time. Her style and choice of subjects appealed to a large audience. With Hitler's rise to power she was unofficially prevented from exhibiting, but ironically the Nazi used some of her famous images for their own propaganda purposes. One of the greatest graphic artists of all time, Kollwitz spent her life in an autocratic state which, whether ruled by the Kaiser or the Nazis, hated everything for which she stood. Kaethe Kollwitz became the first woman elected to the Prussian Academy but because of her beliefs, and her art, she was expelled from the academy in 1933. Harassed by the Nazi regime, Kollwitz's home was bombed in 1943. Her art was classified as " degenerate ." Despite these events, Kollwitz remained in Berlin. Her personal life was full of hardships and heartache. She lost her son in World War I and her grandson -- in World War II and these losses contributed to her political sympathies. Kaethe Kollwitz died on April 22, 1945, five years after her husband's death. She didn't know that Nazi regime was defeated.

Kollwitz era dotado con un talento extraordinario para dibujar. Aunque ella eligió hacer pintor, ella era realmente ponente, escultor, y sobre todo -- un printmaker. La aguafuerte era el primer medio gráfico que ella procuró, pronto ser substituida por la litografía. Dibujando directamente en la piedra ella podía crear una imagen con la calidad clara, expresiva que caracterizó su estilo de dibujo.
