This month: Käthe Kollwitz

Talk by Edith Layne and Marianne Seger

Date: Friday December 11

Time: 11 am (arrive at 10:30 to view works on display!)

Käthe Kollwitz (8 July 1867 – 22 April 1945) was a German painter, printmaker, and sculptor whose work offered an eloquent and often searing account of the human condition, and the tragedy of war, in the first half of the 20th century. Her empathy for the less fortunate embraced the victims of poverty, hunger, and war.
