MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Two Girls in Front of Birch Trees

🖼 Two Girls in Front of Birch Trees, 1905
Saint Louis, USA

Two young girls stand motionless before silvery birch trunks, rendered in bold, flattened forms with earthy palette and simplified features. Modersohn-Becker's proto-Expressionist style anticipated modern art, merging Symbolist mystery with primitive directness to explore childhood's psychological depth.
