German Expressionist painter Paula Modersohn-Becker,Old Woman in the Garden, 1906 ♀️
Reclining Female Nude by Paula Modersohn-Becker, ca. 1905
She is pretty without artifice, strong without giving up her sensuality, at once chaste and fecund.
Her contradictions anticipate the emerging feminism of the early 20th century: an aspiration that biology would not prescribe a woman’s destiny and that success would not require her to adopt a masculine affect.
The artist did not live to witness the effort to achieve her vision. Modersohn-Becker died in 1907, after the birth of her daughter. She was 31.
