Recommended by Paige (Collections Manager):
"Perhaps the biggest draw to an artwork for me is the drama, which Conspiracy delivers without a doubt. Käthe Kollwitz is the great artist of the people, of the suffering worker, mother, and the broken. This scene from The Weaver's Revolt series is dark and heavy with dense lines that relate to the emotion of the piece and its huddled workers. I can feel the weight of their words and their pain through the artist's hand."
