The Gift of Käthe Kollwitz
Käthe Kollwitz is widely regarded as the most important female artist of 20th century Germany. Her life span paralleled the rise and fall of the German Empire, and her artwork captured the underside of that time. The Agenda welcomes Dr. Brian McCrindle, a pediatric cardiologist at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and a serious collector and benefactor of Kollwitz's work.
From the ashes of war, German artist Kathe Kollwitz uncovers humanity
독일 작가 케테
Works by a famous German artist who is known for her emotionally powerful artwork are on display here in Seoul.
Our Yim Yoonhee joins us with more about this very moving exhibition.
Kathe Kollwitz created strong images that touched millions of lives around the world for their depictions of people struggling with the poverty and devastation in the aftermath of war.
This is a rare opportunity to see these works.
Have a look.
A mother, desperate to feed and fend for her children in a country ravaged by war.
The image is one of over 50 original works by the 20th century German painter, printmaker and sculptor Kathe Kollwitz that are being shown at the Seoul Museum of Art.
But inside these charcoal sketches, inside the shadows, are hungry children, traumatized mothers,... the victims of poverty and World War I,... people that artist Kollwitz just couldn′t ignore.
After the war, the remaining families had a very hard time. There was no relief in sight, no counseling and no one to defend them. This artist chose to bring attention to them.
The exhibition is divided into two parts one dedicted to the squalid lives of members of the working class prior to 1914, while the latter part shows works that illustrate the living hell experienced by people in Germany in the aftermath of World War I.
Kollwitz was a well-recognized and respected artist in the art community, but she went beyond being an artist and contributed to humanity, bringing awareness to those left in the shadows of this world.
What was the artist′s relationship to the war?
Kollwitz was married to a doctor who often tended to the poor, and that greatly affected her career.
In terms of the war, she lost her youngest son to World War I, which you can imagine had a great influence on her works.
Many of her works have names such as Grieving Parent, The Widow and The Sacrifice, so it′s clear that art really became her outlet.
And what legacy does the artist leave behind, other than her works?
There are over 40 German schools named after the artist, but many books, movies and even modern dance pieces have featured characters inspired by Kollwitz.
There are also many statues some made by Kollwitz herself and some created after her works that are housed at many locations throughout Germany... to commemorate the war and especially its victims.
The artist really brought much-needed attention to all of the unseen suffering during wartime.

Käthe Kollwitz - Portrait of the German artist of expressionism
Käthe Kollwitz died at Moritzburg, near Dresden, in April 1945, shortly before the end of the Second World War. As the film begins she is an old woman in the last months of her life, contemplating death. Using words taken from her diaries and letters, she looks back over her life and work.
It was always of great importance to Kollwitz that her art should communicate directly with an audience, and by working with graphic media - lithography, etching and woodcuts - she hoped to give her images a wide circulation, as campaign posters and in leftwing books and periodicals.
She spent most of her working life in Berlin during the politically turbulent years before and after the First World War. Her husband ran a medical practice for the poor and it was through his work that she became intimately aware of the problem of the urban working class.
She worte: I want my art to have a purpose. I want to have an effect on these times when man is so perplexed and in need of help. I will be his attorney.
But beyond its sense of social and political purpose, her art was always inspired by an intensely personal vision.
Expression is all I want. I have never done any of my work cold. I have always worked with my blood so to speak. All my work hides within it, life itself, and it is with life that I contend, through my work.

Käthe Kollwitz Museum Berlin/ Führung
Seit 1986 besteht das private Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum in 10719 Berlin Fasanenstraße 24. Die überwiegende Anzahl der Exponate stammen aus einer Sammlung des Galeristen Hans Pels-Leusden (1908—1993) und befindet sich in dem ältesten Wohnhaus in der Fasanenstraße nahe des Kurfürstendamms, einer 1871 erbauten, spätklassizistischen Stadtvilla.
Die Ausstellung ist der Künstlerin und ihrem Werk gewidmet..Mit ihren sozialkritischen Arbeiten wurde sie berühmt. Sie war das erste weibliche Mitglied der Akademie der Künste. Doch als 1933 die Nazis an die Macht kamen, wurden Käthe Kollwitz und ihre Kunst verboten. Eine schwere Zeit begann für die berühmte Künstlerin. In dem Video nehmen wir an einer Führung durch das Käthe Kollwitz Museums teil. Die Führung wurde von Frau Dr. Fritsch, der Kuratorin des Museums, durchgeführt.

Finding the Krieg Cycle: Kathe Kollwitz, World War I, and the Creation of an Iconic Print Series lecture by Claire Whitner, Associate Curator, Davis Museum at Wellesley College
Käthe Kollwitz’s groundbreaking print series, Krieg (War) was published nine years after her son was killed on a WWI battlefield in October 1914. Claire Whitner explores Kollwitz’s artistic development alongside her process of mourning—one that proceeded from very devastating, personal grief to an insightful meditation on war and its cost to society.

Spitzentreffen von Senat und Katholischer Kirche
Eigentlich treffen sich die katholische Kirche und der Senat alle zwei Jahre, um gemeinsam die Herausforderungen zu diskutieren und Lösungen zu besprechen. Doch der Wechsel beider Spitzen bedingte, dass der Turnus unterbrochen wurde und dieses Mal 3 Jahre ins Land gingen. Der regierende Bürgermeister Michael Müller betonte allerdings, dass es bis zu dem heutigen Spitzentreffen bereits einen regen Austausch gegeben habe. Dabei sprach er von einer hervorragenden Zusammenarbeit. Die ist angesichts der Herausforderungen der wachsenden Stadt auch nötig und so standen bei dem Treffen vor allem die Aufgaben im Sozial- und Bildungsbereich im Mittelpunkt.
