The Letters and Journals: Paula Modersohn-Becker

Edited By Gunter Busch and Liselotte Von Reinken "An individual history so potently expressive of a wider general condition that the life assumes the proportions of a monument or of a significant work of art. . . . [The book's] appeal is in the quintessentially human dilemma it poses, which any reader must share. Paula Modersohn-Becker's letters and journals present us with a stunning insight into a struggle of intense interest for her time and for our own."—New York Times Book Review"The publication of this comprehensive, well-translated, superbly edited and annotated edition is a major event in art book publishing."—Publishers Weekly One of the great modern painters, Paula Modersohn-Becker was also a gifted writer who left behind journals and a sizable correspondence. This edition includes every extant letter, all carefully annotated, and is illustrated with forty-six black and white plates.Paperback576 pagesNorthwestern University Press, 19986 x 1.5 x 9 inchesISBN 9780810116443Artis
