Re: Art & The Great War

Other works by Käthe Köllwitz. Interesting to me because they depict the effects of war on women (war isn't just about men and machines). The wife of a Doctor and living in a poor area of Berlin, Köllwitz was staunchly 'anti-war' and was persecuted by the nazis as a 'degenerate' as were many of here peers. Unlike her peers though, Köllwitz did not flee Germany in the thirties and died there less than two weeks before the end of the Second World War.
