Kathe Kollwitz

Image
  On Monday, I got to go through Kathe Kollwitz Museum and see her painting. Her painting have this deep, depressing aura that captures your attraction and makes you ponder on her pieces. I can feel her emotion through the painting. Kathe Kollwitz is a German artist know for her etching and sculptures. She married Karl Kollwitz, a doctor, against her parents wishes because they thought getting married would ruin her art career. Instead it was the opposite. Karl was willing to take care of the kids while she etching. Kathe used to paint the working class before her son died in World War One. After that, her pieces focus  on grieving parents, especially mothers.  I think what makes contribution so important is how well she capture so much emotion in her work while  barely having anything on her pages. She was able to show the depressing side of World War Two. After the War, she was the first women ever to be a professor at the Prussian Academy of Arts (wikipedia) but d...

Lise Meitner

 what Lise Meitner is a great example for women in science. Meitner grew up and went to a university in Vienna where she was the 2nd women to graduate in physics. Vienna wouldn't offer her a lab because she was a women so she moved to Berlin. Berlin gave her a workshop for a lab. She was also the first female professor in Physics in Germany. During World War One, she was an x-ray nurse-technician and discovery the element protactinium. During World War Two, she lost all her positions and her lab because she was jewish. She had to move to Sweden to escape the Nazi's. She was offer to join the Manhattan Project but decline because she didn't want to be part of group that was responsible for building a bomb (thought it was unmoral).  I think what makes Lise Meitner contribution to Berlin and to the World so important is that she was an example that women deserve a role in science. She also shows that you don't have to lose your humanity to achieve greatness. She discover a...

Madrid: Archaeology Museum

Image
  The room that really stood out to me was the room dedicated to the prehistoric age (caveman era). This room really opened my eyes to how inventive they were back then. They weren't wasteful and made sure everything they collected had a use to it. Animals bones and rocks were use to make weapons and tools to help out their society. They were also very creative and incorporated artwork into their society. They painting in cave told stories important to them and craved images into bones to shows their status in their society. They cared about pottery and used objects to show off their status just like we do in modern times. I think the prehistoric ages are important to Madrid historically because it is literally dedicated to how the people back then used their environment to function in society. That era shows the deep history of Madrid and give example of what's tools they used to get food and to make art. It also bring people a deeper understanding on what was important to Spa...
