Online art talks with Larry D'Amico.

Käthe Kollwitz (MoMA, March–July 2024.)

In the early decades of the 20th century, when many artists were experimenting with abstraction, Käthe Kollwitz remained committed to an art of social purpose. Focusing on themes of motherhood, grief and resistance, she brought visibility to the working class and asserted the female point of view as a necessary and powerful agent for change. “I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate,” she wrote. “It is my duty to voice the sufferings of men, the never-ending sufferings heaped mountain-high.” The first major retrospective (more than 120 works) devoted to Kollwitz at a New York museum, this is also the largest exhibition of her work in the US in more than 30 years.
