Oracle of DelphiKathe Kollwitz Prints: Defending the Downtrodden
February 27th 2007 00:26
One of Germany's leading graphic artists of the early 20th century, Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945) was a staunch defender of the poor, a critic of both World Wars, and deeply dedicated to her family. In recent years, the Portland Museum of Art has assembled a growing collection of her etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts that cover the course of Kollwitz’s illustrious career.
Featuring 22 prints, Kathe Kollwitz Prints: Defending the Downtrodden will be on view February 24 through May 27 at the Portland Museum of Art. Most of the works in the exhibition are gifts from the David and Eva Bradford collection of German Expressionist graphics. They range in date from the late 1890s to the turbulent 1920s, during the years of the Weimar Republic in Germany, when unemployment and poverty were rampant.
