Käthe Kollwitz was born in 1867 in
Konigsberg, East Prussia and was one of the most important German artists of
the twentieth century. She was a “remarkable women who created timeless art
works against the backdrop of life of great sorrow, hardship and heartache”.
Her work represents the human condition during war and her empathy for the less
fortune.
