Paula Modersohn-BeckerPaula Modersohn-Becker was the most important woman artist of her day and one of the main forerunners of Expressionism. She lived in Worpswede, in the fens north-east of Bremen in Germany. Little water-courses often dividing, a sand-dune set on the flat marsh, brown moorland, black canals - the power of the landscape is central to her work; it roused in her the faculty to see things as simple, big and monumental. `If one only could, one should write down the people and the landscape in a sign-language ... the great simplicity of form, that is the wonder.' Her diary, which became famous for the way it documented her development, is used for this film's narration. `I feel how my work startles people. Still ... it is the vividness with which one grasps the object which makes beauty in art.' |
