Does any image say primal love more than this powerful painting by Paula Modersohn-Becker.

Some time ago,聽I came across a fascinating German Expressionist who was not part of the famous Die Br眉cke group.

Paula Modersohn-Becker: I am Me was the first American retrospective of the artist and as such, marked Modersohn-Becker鈥檚 ascending renown on this side of the Atlantic.

The exhibition explores the many different aspects of motherhood over eight chapters.

This exhibition marks Modersohn-Becker鈥檚 first museum retrospective in the United States. Showing the full range of her achievement over her career, the exhibition includes more than 50 paintings, 15 large-scale drawings, and five etchings.

Paula Modersohn-Becker produced more than 700 paintings and some 1,400 works on paper between 1898 and her death in 1907 at the age of 31: sensitive, forthright paintings of mothers and children.

After the death of the German painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) following childbirth, her friend, the poet, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a lengthy and deeply felt elegy, lamenting, that 鈥測ou should stray back, you, who have achieved more transformation than any other woman.鈥�
