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...

Stockholm art: Vasa ship

Image
On Thursday, I got to see and learn about the Vasa ship. This ship was so beautiful and I could only image how power this warship could be if it didn't sink. The museum where this ship is in had to be built around the ship. In the museum, each level there are different information about the ship. The bottom level is about the passengers. The middle has a film where you learn about some information about the boat. The top floor holds information about the layout of the ship. Each level you see a different view of the ship and can really admire the structure of the ship. The Vasa ship is important to Stockholm because it holds a lot of information about Stockholm naval power back in the 17th century. It's living proof of what ships would look like back then and how naval power was very important to a country. It is also interesting how quickly this ship sunk from the shore and how it is still preserve so well for being sunk in the water for about 300 years. The Vasa was meant to ...
