MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Girl with yellow wreath in hair

🖼 Girl with yellow wreath in hair, 1901
Wuppertal, Germany

Golden light frames a young girl adorned with a luminous yellow wreath, rendered in bold, simplified forms and warm earth tones. Modersohn-Becker's proto-Expressionist style anticipates modernism, celebrating childhood innocence while departing from academic tradition.
