    Summary note
    The Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett (Museum of Prints, Drawings and Photographs of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden) has particularly important and unique holdings of the work of the German graphic artist Käthe Kollwitz (1867?1945). Kollwitz formed a long association with Max Lehrs (1855?1938), a leading art historian and then the director of the Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett, and Lehrs became Kollwitz?s discerning supporter. 0The catalogue tells the circumstances and story of the earliest public holding of Kollwitz?s work to be established and of Kollwitz?s full development of her major themes? of war and death, of motherhood and love, and not least of self-portraiture, one of the most fascinating aspects of her oeuvre. 00Exhibition: Kupferstich-Kabinett, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Germany (19.10.2017-14.01.2018).0.
