ich werde noch etwas - paula modersohn-becker

In the organizer's words:

Paula Modersohn-Becker is a pioneer of German modernism. The painter is one of the most important female artists of the period around 1900, not only in Germany but also in Europe and worldwide. She was the first German Expressionist - even before the founding of the Dresdner Brücke in 1905 and the Munich Blauer Reiter in 1908. In terms of social and emancipation history, she occupies an outstanding position and is exemplary for her gender.

The Landesmuseum Hannover currently holds 39 paintings by Paula Modersohn-Becker - the largest collection outside of Bremen worldwide. Proof that the artist was discovered and intensively collected in Hanover very early on. The Modersohn-Becker collection here features internationally renowned major works such as the "Self-Portrait with Hand on Chin", but also an impressive variety of themes. It includes works from the artist's entire creative process: from landscapes to still lifes and depictions of women and children - a particular specialty of Modersohn-Becker - everything is represented. For the first time, all of the artist's works from Hanover are to be presented to the public in one exhibition.
