Bread!

Käthe Kollwitz's painting titled 'Bread!' powerfully captures themes of poverty and hunger, central to her focus on the struggles of the working class. Her work often combines realism with elements of Expressionism, conveying raw emotion and social critique. Although she was mainly known for her lithography prints and sculpture, her art also aligns with Genre painting that depicts everyday life. Her dedication to social issues and her mastery of paper as a medium reflect her commitment to accessible, expressive art. As a trailblazing woman, Kollwitz broke barriers by joining the Prussian Academy of Arts and becoming an honorary professor.
