Description
Summary:"Paula Modersohn-Becker is widely regarded as one of the most influential German artists of the 20th century, and her work continues to inspire artists to this day. But how did Paula Becker, born in Dresden in 1876, become the artist Paula Modersohn-Becker? This publication takes an in-depth look at her career, showcasing works from all periods of her artistic development. It focuses particularly on her early work, which until now has received little recognition and appreciation. The book shows that she was already pursuing her own independent artistic path during her student years - a path that led directly to the masterpieces of her final years, including the world's first nude self-portrait by a woman artist"--Provided by publisher.
