Her work is known around the world, fetching high prices at art auctions. And her memorial \u201cMourning Parents\u201d in the soldiers\u2019 graveyard outside of the Belgian village of Vladslo is one of the most important sepulchral sculptures of the 20th century. But how much do we really know about K\u00e4the Kollwitz? Who was this woman who now looks out at us so directly from countless portraits?<\/p>\n<p>Born 8 July 1867, this year will mark the 150th anniversary of her birth. She was one of the first women permitted to study art in Munich and was a recognised artist even under the Kaiser. Fun-loving, curious and committed, she was also a politically strong voice in her time. None of her work is without a message. Terrible misfortune, including the loss of her son Peter in World War I, shattered her life. Themes such as grief, loss, poverty, hunger and war became much more prevalent in her work.<\/p>\n<p>Who was this woman behind the artwork which affects so many people all around the world? Using her diaries and drawings, as well as conversations with descendants and international experts, the film &#8220;Kollwitz. A Life with Art and War&#8221; sets out to discover one of the most charismatic women of the 20th century, whose life was defined primarily by irrepressible, never diminishing passion.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1591604189732{padding-right: 70px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Press<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tagesspiegel.de\/gesellschaft\/medien\/tv-biografie-ueber-kaethe-kollwitz-kunst-ist-politik\/20018192.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>&#8220;<u>In particular, a treasure trove uncovered in an attic, which includes previously unknown drawings and what is presumed to be her earliest self-portrait as a young woman, broadens our view.<\/u>&#8221; \u00a0<\/em> <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-34515\" src=\"https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TS_Logo_ohne_DER_RZ_OFF_lowRes-300x75.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"72\" height=\"18\" srcset=\"https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TS_Logo_ohne_DER_RZ_OFF_lowRes-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TS_Logo_ohne_DER_RZ_OFF_lowRes-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TS_Logo_ohne_DER_RZ_OFF_lowRes-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TS_Logo_ohne_DER_RZ_OFF_lowRes-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/looks.film\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TS_Logo_ohne_DER_RZ_OFF_lowRes.jpg 1594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 72px) 100vw, 72px\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1592215373023{margin-top: -20px !important;margin-left: -10px !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"spoiler-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spoiler-head folded\">more<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spoiler-body\"> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.berliner-zeitung.de\/kultur-vergnuegen\/150-jahre-kaethe-kollwitz-zum-jubilaeum-zeigt-arte-die-dokumentation-ein-leben-in-leidenschaft-li.6524\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;<u>The interviews with her three grandchildren, who were able to speak about their personal contact with their grandmother, were also a stroke of luck\u2026<\/u>&#8221; \u00a0\u00a0 Berliner Zeitung<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fr.de\/kultur\/tv-kino\/leider-maedchen-11027365.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>&#8220;<u>And so, the portrait is also a film about a time when women first took to the streets to demand their rights.<\/u>&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>Frankfurter Rundschau<\/a><em><br \/>\n<\/em> <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Distribution<\/strong><br \/>\nBettina Offermann<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:distribution@looks.film\"><u>distribution@looks.film<\/u><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Executive Producer<\/strong><br \/>\nGunnar Dedio<\/p>\n<p><strong>A co-production by<\/strong><br \/>\nLOOKSfilm, RBB\/Arte<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directors<\/strong><br \/>\nHenrike Sandner, Yury Winterberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author<\/strong><br \/>\nSonya Winterberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creative Producer<\/strong><br \/>\nHolger Koop<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221;][vc_column disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1592216205835{padding-left: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"color: #7f929e;\">Photo <span class=\"st\">\u00a9<\/span> Nachlass Kollwitz<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34846,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[163,191,203,196],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kollwitz.
