A major new look at the life and career of a pioneering woman artistConsidered one of the most important of the early German modernists, the painter Paula ModersohnBecker (18761907) challenged traditional representations of the female body in art. She was the first modern woman artist to paint herself nude, as well as mothers and children nude. She also created the first selfportrait while pregnant in the history of art. ModersohnBecker painted the life she was living as a woman and artist and led the way for generations of women artists. Tragically, her life and career were cut short at age thirtyone, following complications from childbirth.Diane Radycki examines the artists fascinating biography, highlighting her friendships with poet Rainer Maria Rilke and sculptor Clara RilkeWesthoff as well as her personal anguish, including years in an unconsummated marriage, a disappointing affair, and irresolution about motherhood. Radycki also details the genres of ModersohnBeckers work: figure (especially nudes), still life, and landscape; and the reception of her work following her death. This new book is an authoritative source on ModersohnBecker, who Radycki convincingly portrays as the first significant woman artist in the history of modernism.
