Abstract: Paula Modersohn-Becker broke with every convention when she painted a lifesize nude of herself in 1906 - the first female artist in history to do so. When things became too stressful for her in Worpswede, she simply escaped to Paris, where it seemed to her that there was "champagne in the air". This richly illustrated volume retraces her career , family and art, and introduces her as one of the most important precursors of Expressionism.
