Paula Modersohn-Becker's figure paintings are beautiful and stand the test of time. She's not well known in the U.S. Only painters to whom I can compare her portraits are Picasso's blue period images of women with a certain "massiveness" about them in addition to their beauty. Or some of Diego Rivera's paintings containing female figures. Equally interesting about reading about her life as a woman, painter, and wife is seeing how she dealt with the stresses of family life pulling her away from her artwork....not enough written about this. Most male artists seem to be able to detach from their families and pursue their creative work more easily than women ? Or this is more socially acceptable in a man ? (I know this sounds like stereotyping both men and wormen.)Paula dealt with these tensions head-on, and it is her inability to totally resolve them which makes her life (and letters) so interesting in their honesty.

Paula ModersohnBecker Averil King 9781851495863 Books Reviews

I was disappointed in the book. I did like learning about Paula and enjoyed her paintings. But, after the first few chapters, it seemed like fillers to make the book possible. The writing style did not grab me. It was more like reading an art history book.
And, as many different artists were mentioned, especially some not well-known, there were no examples of their work.
This book is a beautiful tribute to Paula Modersohn-Becker who sadly had too short a life. That being said, she was very prolific with art works in her short life. The
portraits are so appealing and I love her too few landscapes. This is a must have book for art lovers of modernism and Paula Modersohn-Becker was one of the best. It's
a beautiful book and well written.
