MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Selbstbildnis als stehender Akt

🖼 Selbstbildnis als stehender Akt, 1906
Dresden, Germany

Nude figure stands frontally, rendered in warm ochres and browns with simplified forms and direct gaze. Modersohn-Becker's self-portrait challenged early modernism by claiming female body autonomy and artistic authority, prefiguring Expressionism.
