Seven Trees
Paula Modersohn-Becker German
Not on view
This spontaneous drawing is not typical of the stolid peasant life depicted by Modersohn-Becker. As a young woman, Becker attended the same Berlin drawing school as did Käthe Kollwitz. Becker married the painter Otto Modersohn, and later hoped to leave him, and Germany, for Paris. But she died there, three weeks after giving birth, not yet thirty years old.
