With the large graphic cycles "A Weavers' Revolt" and "Peasants' War," Käthe Kollwitz impressively demonstrates her skills as a graphic artist early on. Her etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts are already included in the collections of renowned art institutes at the beginning of her career. Her steadily growing recognition as an artist is honored with numerous awards, not least of which is her appointment in 1919 as the first woman professor at the Prussian Academy of Arts. The new monograph presents the life and work of Käthe Kollwitz - one of the most significant German artists of classical modernism - in unprecedented depth.
