MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Liegende Mutter mit Kind II

🖼 Liegende Mutter mit Kind II, 1906
Oil on canvas
82 × 124.7 cm

Soft, earthen tones render a reclining mother and child in intimate proximity, their forms simplified and monumental. This pioneering work exemplifies early modernist maternal imagery, breaking from sentimental tradition to explore raw human connection with bold formal abstraction.
