	Women in Art- Kathe Kollwitz
		Kollwitz was influenced by Max Klinger and the realist writings of Zola and she worked with a variety of media including sculpture, and lithography.It may be argued that her work was an expression of her tumultuous life.
		Kathe 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.
		Kollwitz extended the potential of this procedure even farther by creating entire backgrounds of texture, often transferring by means of the sensitive soft ground grain of the laid paper on which she made the original drawing.

	Kathe Kollwitz
		Kathe Kollwitz is regarded as one of the most important German artists of the twentieth century, and as a remarkable woman who created timeless art works against the backdrop of a life of great sorrow, hardship and heartache.
		Kathe believed that art should reflect the social conditions of the time and during the 1920s she produced a series of works reflecting her concern with the themes of war, poverty, working class life and the lives of ordinary women.
		Kollwitz was haunted by dreams of her son, and felt his presence in the same way that other bereaved parents did throughout the world.

		In 1897, for example, Kaiser Wilhelm prevented Kollwitz from receiving a gold medal at the Berlin Salon because of the "subversive" nature of her subject matter.
		During her final years Kollwitz produced bronze and stone sculpture, embodying the same types of subjects and aesthetic values as her work in two dimensions.
		Much of her art was destroyed in a Berlin air raid in 1943; later that year, Kollwitz was evacuated to Dresden, where she died at 78.

	Kollwitz lecture
		When Kathe Kollwitz turned sixteen and with her particular interest in art, the normal step for her to have taken would be to gain admittance to the Konigsberg Academy of Art.
		We have examined the personal and political background of Kathe Kollwitz, and considered how her gender affected her career path (but ultimately did not inhibit her ambitions), but her quest to find her artistic voice and attain mastery of various media is perhaps the most inspiring element of Kollwitz's life and accomplishment.
		Kollwitz, intense as she was to be all her life, seemed to thrive with this intense and laborious medium.

		Kollwitz infused passion and empathy into these drawings, lithographs, and engravings, which are chiefly of women and children.
		Although Kollwitz was the first woman elected to the Prussian Academy, her politics caused her to be expelled in 1933; she was later forbidden to exhibit, her art classified as "degenerate." Despite such obstacles, she remained in Berlin, devoted to the depiction of the bleak social conditions of her time.
		Kollwitz defied the norms of the Modernist art scene in two ways: first, she was a woman, and second, she thrust social problems to the center of her work.

	Käthe Kollwitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In part, Kollwitz took her inspiration from his patients, but her empathy for the less fortunate, expressed most famously through graphic means, embraced more generally the victims of poverty, hunger, and war.
		Kollwitz was a committed socialist and pacifist, and her political and social sympathies found expression in the "memorial sheet for Karl Liebknecht", and in her involvement with the Workers Council for Art, a part of the socialist government in the first few weeks after the war.
		An enlarged version of a similar Kollwitz sculpture, "Mother with her Dead Son," was placed in 1993 at the center of Neue Wache in Berlin, which serves as a monument to "the Victims of War and Tyranny."

		One of the greatest graphic artists of all time, Kollwitz, the granddaughter of a radical preacher and the daughter of a union organizer, a pacifist, a lover of children, and a socialist, spent her life in an autocratic state which, whether ruled by the Kaiser or the Nazis, hated everything for which she stood.

		"In addition, I think what Kathe Kollwitz captured in her art was the sense that the fundamental problems of war and peace were not resolved into victors and vanquished – only into the living and the dead.
