Worpswede Artists' Colony II
Painting by Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907), one of the most important representatives of early expressionism (expressionist artists sought to express the meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality). Expressionism was a modernist movement, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Paula was married to the artist Otto Modersohn (1865-1943).
Worpswede just outside Bremen is the place of Germany's most famous artist colony. Since the end of the 19th century artists have been working there and nowadays, about 130 artists and craftsmen and women live there permanently.
The painting is a part of the exhibition "The Worpswede Artists' Colony" at Waldemarsudde Art Hall.
