Käthe Kollwitz (born as Schmidt) was a German artist who worked with painting, printmaking (including etching, lithography and woodcuts) and sculpture. Her most famous art cycles, including The Weavers and The Peasant War, depict the effects of poverty, hunger and war on the working class. Despite the realism of her early works, her art is now more closely associated with Expressionism. Kollwitz was the first woman not only to be elected to the Prussian Academy of Arts but also to receive honorary professor status.
George Grosz was a twentieth-century German painter, graphic artist, and cartoonist. In his work one can find features of various styles of avant-garde art, including Dadaism, Expressionism, and Futurism.
George Grosz drew in every style in a sharp-grotesque and satirical spirit, ridiculing the vices of society. The erotic theme, which occupied a prominent place in Gross's work, was executed in the same spirit.
Grosz devoted more than 20 years to teaching at the Art Students League of New York, and was elected an honorary member of the American and Berlin Academies for his outstanding services to the arts.
Mattia Moreni is an Italian painter and sculptor, a representative of the abstract trend in Italian art.
The artist is interesting because he went through all the significant phases in the art of the 20th century. Beginning with figurative fovea and expressionism, he turned to post-cubism and then to abstract-concrete forms. Later Moreni turns to informal and neo-expressionism. Decay, death and splendor become the themes of his work. After anthropoid watermelons, the decline of the human species is captured by the artist through other images: sterile female macros and sets of symbols, including the relationship between humanoid computer and humanoid computer.
Moreni's paintings have received wide international acclaim.
