On April 28 Artmakessense will organize an online life drawing session inspired by the art and life of Käthe Kollwitz. The dark and dreary atmosphere, which Kollwitz could so splendidly depict, will be embodied by our model for this session: Floorlength Frankie.

The Model: Floorlength Frankie:

Frankie has worked as a professional life model for 10 years, within the wonderful artistic community of Brighton, and is now glad to have the possibility of collaborating with groups worldwide.
She grew her hair long inspired by the tragic heroines of the pre-Raphaelite paintings, to whom there is no better time to pay homage than now, during this time locked in.

The inspirational artist: Käthe Kollwitz

As a woman and a mother at the turn of the twentieth century Kollwitz thoughtfully rendered her hardships and that of her surroundings into grim, expressionistic and timeless pieces of social commentary. As a painter, printer and sculptor the German artist has created visualizations of hope, anger, despair and isolation, sometimes verging on realism, sometimes expressionistic displays of sorrow.
