I agree. She got a bit lost in the post-war Modernist hoopla. Hopefully the strength of her work is gaining recognition along with many under-appreciated 20th Century artists who worked in a representational style. The emotional impact of her work can be astonishing.

As a person i truly appreciate the cold, honest behaviour displayed in the work of Kollwitz. So outstanding, striking and mindblowing…the strength is of great relevance and afformentioned, the work of Kollwitz needs far greater recognition

Excellent post! Her work is so potent. Thank you for the heads up on the Long Beach show. I might have missed it. You can also see a nice section of her prints and drawings in a book edited by Carl Zigrosser, titled “Prints and Drawings of Kathe Kollwitz”.

Hi Charley- It was a nice surprise to see the link to this piece on Kollwitz. She has been one of my very favorite artists since I first saw her work back in the 70’s. She deserves much more notice than she generally gets. Thanks for this article.
