After decades of near oblivion, Paula Modersohn-Becker, whose life was cut short in 1907 at age 31, came to be regarded as one of the most important of the early German modernist painters.
She was the first woman to paint self-nudes and created the first self-portrait while pregnant in the history of art.
Journals and letters for the years 1892-1907, edited by Gunter Busch and Liselotte von Reinken, capture the changes of early twentieth century Europe and provide a guide to the art capitals of Berlin, London and Paris as seen through Modersohn-Becker's eyes.
Illustrated with reproductions of the artist's work.
