Kathe Kollwitz

I love the work of Käthe Kollwitz. I was awe-struck last year when I first viewed her work at the Käthe Kollwitz Museum Köln with Brendan and Uwe. Kollwitz draughtsmanship is superb. Her drawing skills are extraordinary, her prints are technically well executed and her sculptures are commanding in their use of space. Her style might not be your taste, as exclaimed by Uwe at the exhibition, "these works are too dark", yet her body of work remains impressive indeed.
