Frases de Paula Modersohn-Becker
página 2

Paula Modersohn-Becker, anteriormente Minna Hermine Paula Becker , fue una pintora alemana, y una de las representantes más precoces del movimiento expresionista en su país.

Originaria de Dresde, Becker se comprometió en estudios de pintura y reunió a artistas independientes en el pueblo de Worpswede, no lejos de Bremen, que predicaba un retorno a la naturaleza y a los valores simples de la gente campesina. Allí se casó con el paisajista Otto Modersohn. La falta de audacia de los pintores de Worpswede la empujaron a usar inspiraciones exteriores y a efectuar repetidas estancias en París.

Los catorce cortos años durante los cuales Becker estuvo en otra ciudad ejerciendo su arte le permitieron realizar al menos setecientos cincuenta lienzos de pintura, trece estampas y cerca de un millar de dibujos. Su estilo, particularmente único y original, es el fruto de múltiples influencias, en los confines de la tradición y de la modernidad. Su pintura presenta aspectos que mezclan el impresionismo de Cézanne o Gauguin, el cubismo de Picasso, el fauvismo, el arte japonés y el renacimiento alemán. La fuerza expresiva de su obra resume sólo los principales aspectos del arte a principios del siglo XX. Becker murió a los treinta y un años. Wikipedia
