Seller's Description:
VG (slight smudge on front cover, pencil notation behind title page; missing dj. ) Quarter binding with gray paper boards and red cloth spine, blue-gray & color illus. dust jacket, 576 pp., 46 illustrations in black and white. Considers German painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) in her own words. "Paula Modersohn-Becker's life was cut short tragically when she died in 1907 at the age of thirty-one. But in the very few years of artistic maturity allowed her, working alone and with no public recognition, she produced a body of work now recognized as that of a first-rank artist who anticipated many of the powerful ideas of German Expressionism. She left us more than her paintings however, for she also had a gift for vivid, sensitive writing, leaving a large body of letters and journals which, taken together, form a moving, highly readable story of a woman at the twin frontiers of art and life."
