href=\"https:\/\/www.bremer-promenaden.de\/en\/worpswede\/\">Worpswede artists&#8217; colony<\/a>. Raised in Bremen, she received her training as a painter in Berlin and Worpswede. There she developed her painting style, which was unusual for the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1899 Paula exhibited together with the other Worpswede painters at the Kunsthalle Bremen. After a devastating critique, she removed her paintings and travelled to Paris. There she discovered the works of Cezanne, the Louvre and modern painting at the World&#8217;s Fair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even after her marriage to the painter Otto Modersohn, she repeatedly travelled to Paris to study &#8211; an unusual behaviour for her time. What she saw in Paris strongly influenced her. She went into a creative frenzy. Only financial worries made her return to Worpswede to her husband.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her work became known and collected mainly after her death in 1907. In the 1920s, Ludwig Roselius had the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museen-boettcherstrasse.de\/museen\/paula-modersohn-becker-museum\/\">Paula-Becker-Modersohn-Haus<\/a> in Bremen built for his collection. Today, Paula is considered a pioneer of modernism in Germany.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Guided tour in the footsteps of the painter in Worpswede:<\/strong> Our search for traces leads us to the Worpswede Zion Church and Paula&#8217;s grave, past the Barkenhoff and other significant places and ends with a visit to the museum at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museum-modersohn.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Modersohn House<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, we can take a guided tour of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bremer-promenaden.de\/en\/guided-tour-of-boettcherstrasse-cooper-street\/\">Paula-Becker-Modersohn-Haus<\/a> in Bremen&#8217;s B\u00f6ttcherstra\u00dfe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Duration of the guided tour in Worpswede:<\/strong> two and a half hours<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Good to know:<\/strong> As we walk along unpaved paths and through the forest, sturdy shoes are recommended.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Group size and prices<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tour in English<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flat rate price for 20 persons max, 190 euro, plus museum entrance fee of 5 euro per person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2528","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Paula Modersohn-Becker, pioneer of the modernity in Germany - Bremer Promenaden<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Worpswede and Bremen influenced the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker.
