1911-1912 Berlin |
| By 1910, Kate had enrolled in classes of the Women's Artist's Society under the tutelage of Kaethe Kollwitz, master of line, and had initiated studies with the painter Hans Baluschek. Here, she systematically filled portfolios with her works. Two years later, she was studying at the Academy and Student Studios for Painting and the Plastic Arts. It was here that Lovis Corinth taught her drawing and painting, and she continued to save her precious works. In the evenings, she studied anatomy for artists in the State School of the arts and took classes in history at Berlin University. The summer of that year found Kate in Paris where she studied art history and French at the Sorbonne, and painting at the Ecole de la Grand Chaumiere. |

In 1918, shortly after her arrival in Hannover, Kate had met Kurt Schwitters. This was the strange fellow who could be seen bicycling through the streets of that city, always stopping to pick up the stub of a rail ticket, a piece from a child's toy, bits of paper, wire, string, and fabric. The streets were his flower garden, There was an immediate rapport between these two figures. |
