Käthe Kollwitz – Heinrich Zille

Even as a young artist, Käthe Kollwitz was a careful observer of people within their physical and social environment and – one of the few female artists – she described the darker side of the rapid development of industrial society lived between the factory and the tenement. She portrayed the entire range of human expression: motherly love, erotic sensuality, death and und despair. These drawing are being presented together in an exciting dialogue with the aesthetically surprisingly modern photographs of every day in Berlin around 1900 by Heinrich Zille for the first time. The photographic series shows a fragile, disordered, often cheerful, but also raw reality of the city that provided the authentic reality of the graphic art of Käthe Kollwitz.
