Paula in Paris - The Exhibition

She created her own style:

Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) advanced to an internationally renowned artist with a radically modern pictorial language. On occasion of the 100th anniversary of her death, the Kunsthalle Bremen is presenting more than 50 of her masterpieces in a fascinating exhibition.

It will centre on the late creative phase of her life. Paula Modersohn-Becker travelled to Paris four times; there she met Rodin and Maillol and discovered the works of important pioneers of modernity like Cézanne or Gauguin. These experiences deeply impressed Paula Modersohn-Becker and confirmed her modern understanding of art. She then increasingly used bright, flatly applied colours and achieved an expressive form language of great simplicity

The unique exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bremen illustrates which impulses Paula Modersohn-Becker gained in Paris. Her still lives and figure paintings will be shown side by side with works of the French avant-garde. Here, the most important works by Paula Modersohn-Becker, there, works by Cézanne and Van Gogh, the Nabis artists, as well as Matisse and Picasso-an impressive art experience that centres on a modern Paula!
