Here I am. Thinking about Käthe Kollwitz. Trying to write something about why some artist end working in graphics instead of painting. Why? Well, because I like printing. Because my mother used to tell me that instead of trying to become a painter, I should keep on drawing and printing.
Reading about Kollwitz in an exhibition catalog, I came to know that she thought that she was good at drawing and graphics. I wonder, why I keep on trying to be a painter? Maybe my mother was right.
