Käthe Kollwitz
Frau mit totem Kind
(Woman with Dead Child)
1903.
«Kollwitz wrote, “I want to have an effect on my time, in which human beings are so confused and in need of help.” The wrenching subject of Woman with Dead Child is related to her experiences with families treated by her husband, a physician in an underserved sector of Berlin where disease and childhood mortality were commonplace. Using herself and her seven-year-old son as models, she developed a dense network of fine lines and shadowy textures to dramatize the theme of a mother grieving the death of her child.»
