Abstract
The question of political and reparative art is particularly acute in the oeuvre of Kathe Kollwitz (1867–1945). When Peter, the artist’s 18-year-old son was killed in battle in 1914, Kollwitz was 47 years old and an established Berlin artist. Her graphic works and sculptures, her diary and letters express not only a mother’s intense grief, but also the inner turmoil, the uncertainty, the questions about the meaning of sacrifice in war with which she struggled for many years after.
