Paula Modersohn-Becker was a pioneer of modern art in Europe, but
denounced as degenerate by the Nazis after her death. Sue Hubbard
draws on the artist's diaries and paintings to bring to life her
singular existence, her battle to achieve independence and
recognition and her intense relationship with the poet Rainer Maria
Rilke. Not only do we discover Paula's vibrant personality and rich
legacy of Expressionist paintings, but also come to understand
something of the corrupted ideologies of the Third Reich. Written
with the eye of a painter and the soul of a poet this moving story
is a meditation on love, loss, memory and, ultimately, hope.
