Kathe Kollwitz Self Portrait


Käthe Kollwitz has a sombering style in her lithographs and etches. She does not hide the wrinkles or tiredness in her self portraits. In fact she may exaggerate the lines and weariness of the face. Though her body seems worn, she is also stoic and powerful in her expression. She Is important to me because her art reflects the sobering pains of life but also the strong character needed to get through it.
