Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) is one of the most important female representatives of German expressionist art. Kollwitz has come to the fore among German expressionist artists with her works in which emotion is intensely emphasized through the themes of women, workers and war. She is known for her prints as well as her paintings and sculptures. The war, social injustice, workers and peasants in 19th century Germany form the basis of Kollwitz's works. Her view of war as a mother and an artist is perhaps the most important of the reasons that bring her to the fore. The main reason for choosing Kollwitz as the research subject is that she discusses the female identity in her works and shows an open objection to war. This study is the result of a qualitative research and aims to examine the works of Käthe Kollwitz from the perspective of war.
