William Patterson

Kathe Kollwitz

Title:	Kathe Kollwitz
Artist:	Patterson, William (Albany, New York, born, 1941)
Date:	1976
Medium:	Original Etching & Aquatint
Note:	William Patterson: A fine contemporary etcher, William Patterson graduated with his Masters in Fine Arts from Syracuse University. He was then awarded the Abbey Fellowship to conclude his studies at the American Academy in Rome, Italy (1965-66). During his career, Patterson has exhibited at such major institutions as the Library of Congress, Washington, the Brooklyn Museum and at Penn State. He is a full member of both the Society of American Graphic Artists and of the Boston Printmakers. His etchings and aquatints are included in the permanent collections of the New Jersey State Museum, the New British Museum and the Library of Congress.
	A number of William Patterson's original etchings and aquatints deal with imaginative portrayals of past artists who have pervaded his artistic outlook. Thomas Eakins, John Sloan and William Blake have been subjects for some of his art.
	Kathe Kollwitz: The subject of this etching and aquatint is, of course, a portrayal of the young Kathe Kollwitz. One of the greatest original printmakers of the twentieth century, when Kollwitz died in 1945 she left a legacy in her art and life of the courage and compassion of the human heart. Kathe Kollwitz, then, is a tribute to one great artist from another. How else would one explain the power and emotion produced by this remarkable work of art? This is truly a most exceptional contemporary etching.
