When Paula Modersohn-Becker's artistfriends examined her extensive estate afew weeks after her death, they were overwhelmed.

They only gradually realised thatin the painter, who had died so young, theyhad had an outstanding artist in their midst.

Modersohn-Becker was largely unrecognisedduring her lifetime but is regarded today asone of the pioneers of Expressionism.

The sculptor Bernhard Hoetger was one of the few who recognised hertalent from an early stage. Hoetger's memories of Paula Modersohn werepublished in 1920 as an authentic contemporary document in the seriesJunge Kunst. They are reprinted as a facsimile in this revised and extendededition. The volume is a bibliophilic highlight with an essay explaining theartist's life and work from a present-day perspective, together with herbiography and some 40 illustrations of her most important works.

Reviews for Paula Modersohn-Becker

"""This beautiful book comes out to accompany an ambitious retrospective exhibition of the German painter Paula Modersohn-Becker in Frankfurt. The many beautifully reproduced plates, photos, and essays chart the story of an impressive artist whose life was cut short all too soon. . . . Whether one is fortunate enough to see the retrospective exhibition in person or not, this book provides a valuable view of an important artist who deserves to be better known."" * New York Journal of Books *"
