Powerful and beautiful..thank you .

[@ultraali453]

I am speechless. I really hope an autobiographical film is made on the life of Käthe Kollwitz to bring attention to war and the suffering it causes.

Antiques Roadshow brought me here ;) I love this woman’s art.

Her art named Bread is fasinating painful, the mother hiding Her face and 2 children are hungry , The most painful thing for a mother to see and know that Her children are hungry and she cant provide food for them.

How tedious, can the voice over not speak faster and louder.

[@aydenisive]

you can speed up the playback rate? that's what I'm doing...

[@ashtray3860]

real, I have it on 1.5 and the volume at 100 and it's still too quiet and slow!

[@robindegu7294]

what would she think about israel's genocide of palestine i wonder

[@andreychizov8201]

Nothing to do with politics and proletariat. She was a schizophrenic. So it is hard to enjoy her art. One must have the same state of mind to appreciate it, although that's a real art.

[@mayaneumeier847]

I'd love to understand why her being schizophrenic makes it hard to enjoy her art? To me, it seems interesting to see another perspective. I don't have schizophrenia, what does this situation look like to someone that does?

[@andreychizov8201]

@@mayaneumeier847 there was her exibition in Getty. Very powerful, but very sick. Must see originals, to feel the art, the energy, the feelings.

[@mzny4314]

@@andreychizov8201 you also have to take into consideration the times that she lived through and experienced. It would be helpful if you could cite your sources on her mental health as well.

[@matttheman9740]

@@andreychizov8201 I dont believe that a persons mental state should affect the viewers perspective of the work. It has been said that her schizophrenia was well controlled and was actually not as serious. Most of this expression comes from witnessing 2 world wars, that is where the heart of appreciation should come from. Its not a type of style that is meant to be ''enjoyed''. This style ''expressionism'' is meant to be disturbing, sick, and wept upon. This does not make it bad art, you in particular just dont like feeling this darkness. But guess what, this is what those people felt living through the wars. The least we can do is not judge it for what we want it to be, but appreciate it for what is already is.
