WHERE MEN AND MOUNTAINS MEET

AUGUST 9, 2006
William Blake, the great English mystic, observed: Great things are done when men and mountains meet; This is not done by jostling in the street. That is why I have a special fondness in my heart for artists such as Kaethe Kollwitz (1867-1945) who were driven to grapple with the big subjects-- life and death, injustice, war and peace. Kollwitz lived through two World Wars in Germany where she worked with her husband in the most impoverished areas of Berlin.
