The Käthe Kollwitz exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City highlights the work of one of the most important German artists of the 20th century. Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) is known for her deeply moving prints, drawings and sculptures that address the suffering and social injustices of her time. Her works reflect personal and collective tragedy, particularly the effects of war, poverty and loss.
The exhibition at MoMA features an extensive collection of Kollwitz’s work, including her famous cycles “A Weavers’ Revolt” and “War”. These works are characterized by their powerful emotional intensity and technical mastery. Kollwitz’s ability to depict human suffering and compassion with haunting clarity makes her art relevant even today.
In addition to the artwork, the exhibition also provides context on Kollwitz’s life and her commitment to social justice. Through her art, she tirelessly advocated for working-class causes and against war. The MoMA exhibition celebrates Kollwitz’s contribution to art and society by highlighting her powerful vision and humanitarian concern.
