Diary and Letters of Kaethe Kollwitz
Kollwitz's art is well known, but little has been written on her life. This publication introduces the private person through diary entries revealing the struggles of a woman who was master and servant of her art, who probed her roles as wife and mother, and who sought joy in a life that took her son in World War I and her grandson in World War II. A victim of Hitler's censorship, Kollwitz speaks of the need to combine the politics of humanity and art. Her letters are more light-hearted and punctuated with hope and happy memories. Recommended for collections emphasizing art history and women's studies.
