Modersohn-Becker was revolutionary for her time, boldly portraying herself in the nude and challenging the conventions of female representation in art.
During her visit to the Trocadero ethnographic museum in 1906, she discovered the expressive potential of African masks, influencing her later works significantly.
Her artworks reflect a profound exploration of motherhood, capturing both the vulnerability and strength of women through emotional and intimate depictions.
Unlike her Impressionist contemporaries, Modersohn-Becker focused on the primal experience of motherhood, emphasizing raw emotional connections rather than bourgeois aesthetics.
