Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) was a German artist whose short but impactful career left an indelible mark on the art world. Her works, ranging from still life to self-portraits and figure studies, showcase her unique style and artistic vision. In "Still Life with the della Robbia Putto, " painted around 1905, Modersohn-Becker captures the delicate beauty of a putto figurine amidst carefully arranged objects. The composition exudes tranquility and invites viewers to appreciate the intricate details. Another notable piece is "Girl in red dress in front of sunflower" from 1907. This vibrant painting depicts a young girl standing confidently against a backdrop of towering sunflowers. The contrasting colors create a sense of energy and vitality that radiates from the canvas. Modersohn-Becker's talent for still life is evident in "Still Life with Plant and Egg Cup. " Painted around 1905, this composition showcases her ability to breathe life into everyday objects. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the arrangement, making it come alive before our eyes. One cannot discuss Modersohn-Becker without mentioning her powerful self-portraits. In "Self-Portrait with Two Flowers in Her Raised Left Hand" from 1907, she presents herself as both vulnerable and strong. Holding two flowers delicately yet firmly, she asserts her presence as an artist unafraid to express herself. Her self-portraits also reveal introspection and contemplation. In "Self-Portrait" from 1906 or its counterpart from c. 1906, we see glimpses into Modersohn-Becker's inner world through her penetrating gaze and thoughtful expression. The theme of female nudity is explored in "Seated Nude Girl with Flower Vases" created between 1906-1907.
