Kathe Kollwitz was a great artists because of the so many different mediums of art she used. Drawing, painting, sculpting, printmaking and etching are just some of the various artworks she was capable of creating. Having to live through World War I and just before World War II, these huge points in history created the mindset for creation. As a result of having to live through the first World War, she must have seen and heard many things that molded her mind about what she wanted her artwork to convey.

The human condition was probably the main point to her works of art. Whether it be poverty, hunger or even the result of the war, all of these things were terrible during that time. She must have felt such sorrow for those who were less fortunate in their lives. Though her work may give an uneasy feeling, they portray such huge points in time that affected the lives of so many.
