Kollwitz : Stunning and Powerful Art

This book is everything I was hoping it would be. It is a dynamic addition to my art library. More people should know of this voice out of the past. The expressive sculpture and drawing are an eloquent expression of the pain that words cannot say.

A fascinating artist....

kearns' book is a very readable biography of an amazing artist, revealing Kollwitz's artistic development, her philosophy, even a glimpse into her emotional life. It is a fascinating story, especially the chance to see the struggle of women in the art world and life in post WWI and Nazi Germany.

Kathe is Haunting & Magnificent!

This book tells the story of Kathe, the woman. It's remarkable & haunts you for years after. Several of her sketches are included as well, but more of her art is all that could make this book better!!
