Louisiana Museum of Modern Art exhibits works by German artist Paula Modersohn-Becker | Gender and art | Scoop.it

HUMLEBÆK.- For many people the German artist Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) will be a new acquaintance, while others may remember her from the well-attended Self-Portrait exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2012, which included four of her paintings. Now there is an opportunity to get to know the artist’s work better, since over the winter Louisiana is showing the first major exhibition of Paula Modersohn-Becker’s work in Scandinavia. The exhibition features 150 works, a good 90 paintings and just under 60 drawings, several in large format, and focuses on the artist’s central genres – figure paintings, portraits and self-portraits.
