Kathe Kollwitz was born in 1867 in Konigsberg. She studied art in Berlin and got married to Dr Karl Kollwitz. In 1895, she gave birth to her second son, Peter. She taught in Berlin School of Women Artists from 1898 to 1903.



In 1914, her second son Peter was killed in Flanders. He was among the young German men who volunteered to go to war. Kathe Koowitz believed that the older generation had a hand in motivating the young men to go to war. 


In Kathe Kollwizt's own words she believed;


She shared with her son Peter, the vision of an official Germany- a Fatherland: and this inspired her son and many young men to volunteer. They were filled with patriotism, the love for an independent Germany, a commandment and sense of duty towards their Fatherland- Germany.


Eighteen years later she completed her memorial of her son; she placed a sculpture of two old parents mourning their son. She then placed them on their son's grave. To date that remains the only reminder of the sacrifice that many German young men made, for a cause Kathe Kollwitz later says "his idealism was misplaced, that his sacrifice was for nothing"

The ideas of Kollwitz to her son and other young Germans to rush to war.

Explanation:

  • In 1920, she became the first woman to be named a member of the Prussian Academy of Art.
  • This included earnings, a workshop, and a full professorship. Sadly, her youngest son Peter died in the First World War in 1914, and because of this Kathe Kollwitz created prints with the repeated motif of a mother shielding her children and a mother with a dead boy.
  • She also built The Grieving Parents statue in 1932, where she and her husband were depicted as weeping parents, and from 1924 to 1932 she crafted her son's granite statues, as well as a War cycle in woodcuts, which was then turned into posters displaying the starvation and consequences of battle.
  • In the First and Second World Wars, she tried to establish her research focused on increasing consciousness of the suffering caused by the conflict, hunger and homelessness, and she was deeply motivated by political concerns.
  • Posters and pamphlets were produced about her research, helping to increase this awareness.
