Käthe Kollwitz – The Secret of the Speaking Hands

9–12 years · 48 pages

The hands in the picture seem to carry a story. Pia describes their posture; Claudia examines the printed marks. Isabelle asks about work, family and public history. Black alone explains no emotion; forms and context open a view into Kollwitz’s art.
