ROBERTO OSTI
Drawing with... Kathe Kollwitz!
Drawing with... Kathe Kollwitz
Kathe Kollwitz works are passionate, powerful, touching, in short, beautiful.
This session of “Drawing with…” is dedicated to this master of expressionism that was able to capture the passions and emotions, struggles and toils of the common people during a period that spans both world wars.
Her drawing techniques are varied and eclectic, and copying some of her artworks is an interesting and stimulating way to explore creative approaches in art making.
