Paula Modersohn-Becker: The First Modern Woman Artist
“The complication of the artist’s being a woman,” mused the poet Rainer Maria Rilke about modernism, “ah, that really is a whole new question.” Diane Radycki addresses this question as she looks at paintings (including the Snite Museum’s landscape) by Paula Modersohn-Becker--a friend of Rilke from the Worpswede art colony.
