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.
Paula Modersohn-Becker is recognized today as one of the great
painters of the modern movement. But Modersohn-Becker was also a
gifted writer and her large body of letters and journals form a
moving, highly readable story of a woman at the twin frontiers of
art and life. Reissued to coincide with the publication of Dear
Friend (see page 3), this edition, which includes every extant
letter, all carefully annotated, is the result of extensive
research by the editors, and is illustrated with forty-six black
and white plates.
