Käthe Kollwitz (née Schmidt; * 8 July 1867 in Königsberg (Prussia); † 22 April 1945 in Moritzburg near Dresden) was a German graphic artist, painter and sculptor and is one of the best-known German artists of the 20th century. With her often serious, sometimes shockingly realistic lithographs, etchings, engravings, woodcuts and sculptures, which are based on personal circumstances and experiences, she developed an independent artistic style that integrated influences from Expressionism and Realism
