Reviews
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.
