Kaethe Kollwitz, the sculptures, at the Kaethe Kollwitz Museum, Berlin.
This is a post about Kollwitz's sculptures and reliefs, following the one about her drawings and prints. Information about her life and oeuvre can be found in the previous post which you can see here
The first sculpture we saw, was one of Kollwitz, rather by her. A copy is situated in the middle of the Kaethe Kollwitz square in Prenzlauer Berg where she lived for 52 years, that you can see here

Mother with Two Children, 1932-36, (plaster coated with shellac)
This plaster could have been the artist's original version, from which moulds were manufactured and a (now lost) limestone version carved.

Eirene, I found the bas reliefs that you show particularly powerful.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Olga, the bas reliefs are particularly good.
