The Letters and Journals of Paula Modersohn-Becker Details
Review These letters and journal entries are exceptional....Modersohn-Becker's ability to convey visual impressions through language is unsurpassed. She evokes such pure love for the acts of painting and drawing that her detailed accounts of classes and sessions become practical art lessons, filled with a living atmosphere of color, line and form. (Art Express)The first complete compilation of Becker's written oeuvre in English....Autobiographical documentation of this caliber is crucial to serious research; the annotations intensify the value of this volume, making it a necessary resource for academic and museum library collections. (Choice)An excellent introduction by Alessandra Comini, and the epilogues of poetry by Rilke and Adrienne Rich, round out this vivid tribute to a splendid and tragically interrupted artist.

Reviews
This book's title is a bit of a con - not a single letter of Paula's to Rilke, or vice-versa. Not something I'd recommend
