Artist: Paula Modersohn-Becker - Title: Old Woman in the Garden - Medium: Fine Art Reproduction Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 20 inches x 16.75 inches - Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Paula Modersohn-Becker made landscapes, still lifes, and domestic scenes, but it was portraits of women and girls that most fully occupied her artistic imagination. She portrayed mothers nuzzling and nursing infants, solitary farm girls surveying the land, and old women enthroned on rocking chairs. She also made self-portraits, in countless variations. With her subdued, earthy palette and surfaces of thick impasto, Modersohn-Becker avoided conventional beauty, leading one museum director, an early champion of her work, to comment, "She lacks nearly everything that is needed to win hearts and flatter the casual glance."
