“I felt that I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate. It is my duty to voice the sufferings of people, the sufferings that never end and are as big as mountains.”
Käthe Kollwitz
The etchings and lithographs of Käthe Kollwitz simultaneously captured the human sentiment at its most raw and tender. The artist sought to celebrate not only the humanity, but also the struggles of the proletariat; finding inspiration from the poorest of citizens attending her husband’s medical clinic. Living through political upheavals and the horrors of two World Wars, her own anguishes were documented by her successive self-portraits, yet Kollwitz continued to give a voice to those whom could so easily have been forgotten.
