Paula Modersohn-Becker is one of the most important early German Expressionists. At the age of 12 her family moved from Dresden to Bremen. In 1896 her parents finally allowed her to pursue an art education at the Verein der Berlin Künstlerinnen (Berlin Society of Female Artists) as the art academy still refused entry to women at that time.
