Résumé : "In the early decades of the twentieth century, when many artists were experimenting with the language of abstraction and the leading figures were almost exclusively men, Käthe Kollwitz (German, 1867-1945) achieved unlikely renown for her figurative prints focusing on the hardships of women and the working class. Convinced that printed art was the most effective organ of social criticism, she developed into one of history's most outstanding graphic artists. This catalogue traces the development of Kollwitz's career from the 1890s until her death in 1945, showcasing approximately 120 rarely seen examples of her work in prints, drawings, and sculpture. In addition to highlighting the unprecedented way that Kollwitz asserted the female point of view as a necessary and powerful agent for change, the publication also explores her intensive, eversearching creative process. Essays examine crucial aspects of Kollwitz's art, career, and legacy, including her professional life and connections in Berlin, her groundbreaking approach to the subject of women's grief, and her work's reception in the US"
