Paula Modersohn-Becker (8 February 1876 – 20 November 1907)^[1] was a German Expressionist painter of the late 19th and early 20th century. Her work is noted for its intensity and its blunt, unapologetic humanity, and for the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude self-portraits. She is considered one of the most important representatives of early expressionism, producing more than 700 paintings and over 1000 drawings during her active painting life.^[2] She is recognized both as the first known woman painter to paint nude self-portraits, and the first woman to have a museum devoted exclusively to her art (the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum, founded 1927).^[3] Additionally, she is considered to be the first woman artist to depict herself both pregnant and nude and pregnant.^[2]

Her career was cut short when she died from postpartum embolism at the age of 31.

“The great simplicity of form—that is something wonderful,” Paula Modersohn-Becker wrote in her journal in February 1903, during her second visit to Paris. “Ever since I can remember, I have tried to give the simplicity of nature to the heads I paint or draw. Now I feel deeply how I can learn from the heads of antiquity.”

On each of the young German painter’s four stays in the French capital (1900, 1903, 1905, and 1906-07), she made early morning trips to the Louvre, where she studied and sketched ancient Greek and Egyptian artifacts. As she absorbed the visual influences of Paris’s museums and contemporary galleries, Modersohn-Becker honed a unique portrait style marked by simple, stylized, physicality, as seen in this depiction of her own face from the summer of 1906.

Paula's death was likely due to deep venous thrombosis (DVT), a complication of pregnancy that is relatively common when women are set to bed for a long time after delivery, as was customary practice at that time. Apparently, a thrombus had formed in her leg, and with her mobility, broke off and then caused her death within hours.^[13]Paula 的死亡很可能是由於深靜脈血栓形成 (DVT)，這是一種妊娠並發症，當婦女在分娩後長時間臥床時相對常見，這是當時的習慣做法。顯然，她的腿上形成了血栓，隨著她的活動能力，血栓脫落，然後在數小時內導致她死亡。 [13]
