Between 1900 and 1907, Paula Modersohn Becker made as a curious woman painter several extended trips to Paris mostly living and painting there separately from her husband. She visited the contemporary exhibitions and was particularly inspired by the late work of Paul Cézanne; also Fauvism / Matisse had a temporarily strong influence on her painting. During her last trip to Paris in 1906, she produced a body of paintings and painted also her nude self-portraits. In 1907 Paula returned to her husband in Worpswede and soon her daughter Mathilde was born there; a few weeks later Paula died suddenly.At the age of 22, Paula encountered the painter community in Worpswede, a village where artists lived and worked together, making art in relative isolation of the modern world. Paula’s main subjects in Worpswede were the farmers, especially the children, women, and the Northern German landscape. Paula married later with the Worpswede-painter Otto Modersohn and began close friendships with sculptress Clara Westhoff and her husband, the famous German poet Rainer Maria Rilke.Paula Modersohn-Becker was a German woman artist and painter, living at the end of the 19th century when artists were trying to overcome Impressionism in several ways. Paula attributed by her art a lot to early German Expressionism which would later be continued in ‘Die Brücke’ with Kirchner, Heckel and Smith-Rotluf, especially because of her strong emphasis on ‘form’.< /p>
