Exhibition Envy--Portrait of the Artist: Käthe Kollwitz
Portrait of the Artist: Käthe Kollwitz
Glynn Vivian Art Gallery
Swansea, Wales
"Kollwitz's unique artistic talent, her technical prowess and intelligence, and above all her humanity, can be seen in this exhibition. There is much about the life and work of Kollwitz that instils hope, that is inspiring and life affirming, despite the burden of hardship and sorrow carried by so many of her figures and by herself. Her emphasis was often on what was distinctive about women's experience, including the fundamental nature and potency of maternal love. She believed that art could be a force for good in society."
