"Scripps College Hosts Programs on the Life and Work of German Artist and Pacifist Käthe Kollwitz," PRWeb
Scripps College professors Paul Buchholz and Anne Harley have organized a week-long series of campus events beginning March 24 to call attention to the work of Käthe Kollwitz, a 20th-century German Expressionist visual artist who became a world-renowned figure in the art world and peace movement.
A pacifist icon in Germany, Kollwitz’s art examined the horrors endured by the victims of war and poverty, especially during the first half of the 20th century. Two museums in Germany are dedicated entirely to her works.
