Paula Modersohn-Becker is recognized today as one of the great painters of the modern movement. But Modersohn-Becker was also a gifted writer and her large body of letters and journals form a moving, highly readable story of a woman at the twin frontiers of art and life. Reissued to coincide with the publication of Dear Friend (see page 3), this edition, which includes every extant letter, all carefully annotated, is the result of extensive research by the editors, and is illustrated with forty-six black and white plates.
