On the right is an article about German artist Kaethe Kollwitz (1867-1945):
"Her art may be summed up as a cry from a sympathetic heart... Her art is an advocacy for the rights of the underdog; it is a demand for women's rights, worker's rights, children's rights, for peace and for compassion. The years of war and the years of hunger and the inflation gave her many motives - all of them derived from the streets of the Berlin slum which she has made her home out of choice for the past thirty years."
French writer and art critic Romain Rolland (1866 - 1944) wrote of her:
"This woman, with her great heart, has taken the people into her mothering arms with somber and tender pity. She is the voice of the silence of the sacrificed."
