Meanwhile, in the life of Käthe Kollwitz
The whole lifeuntil 1926
Turns to the woodcut after Barlach
While working on the Liebknecht sheet she found etching insufficient for monumental ideas. After seeing Ernst Barlach’s woodcuts at the Secession exhibitions she finished the sheet in the new medium and by 1926 had made about thirty woodcuts.
1927
A trip to Moscow
In 1927 she visited Moscow; three years earlier her work had already been shown there at the “First General Exhibition of German Art”.
1928
Director of the graphic arts master class at the Prussian Academy
In 1928 she was named director of the Master Class for Graphic Arts at the Prussian Academy of Arts; the title was soon stripped after the Nazi regime rose to power.
