Paula Modersohn-Becker (8 February 1876–1907) was a pioneering German painter who made significant contributions to the development of modern art in the early 20th century. Born in Dresden, she displayed artistic talent from an early age and went on to receive formal training at the Worpswede artists' colony in northern Germany.
Modersohn-Becker is celebrated for her role in the emergence of Expressionism and her innovative approach to portraiture and self-portraiture. Her works often depict introspective and contemplative subjects, notably emphasizing the portrayal of women, children, and rural life. This Self-Portrait at 6th Wedding Anniversary was painted in 1906 and is today at the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Bremen.Painting credit: Paula Modersohn-Becker; Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum
