Biography:
At the encouragement of her parents, Paula Becker studied art in Paris and was influenced by famous Post-Impressionists, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. She classes at the Association of Berlin Women Artists from 1893 to 1895, and joined an artist’s colony at Worpswede. Her early paintings were landscapes, while her later works show her increasing interest in portraiture and the Expressionist movement. In 1901, she married her older friend and mentor, Otto Modersohn. His controlling demeanor caused Modersohn-Becker to leave her husband in 1906 and move to Paris, where she died during childbirth.
