Kathe Kollwitz - Beautiful work

I've recently been very inspired by Kathe Kollwitz. She is an artist whose lifetime spanned both world wars and whose work reflects the emotional baggage she harbored throughout life in Berlin. I am a huge fan of her intricate woodcut pieces and those that utilize the extremes of light - black/white - to evoke genuine spectrums of emotion. "Infant Mortality" is my favorite. I love that she parallels the light source's implied location beyond some blind, shutter, or curtain with a sense of glimpsing into a personal and private scene.
