The short, obscure, and prolific life of the German expressionist painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907), a significant figure in modernism.<\/p>\n

First published in France in 2016, Being Here Is Everything<\/em> traces the short, obscure, and prolific life of the German expressionist painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907). In a brief career, cut short by her death from an embolism at the age of thirty-one, shortly after she gave birth to a child, Modersohn-Becker trained in Germany, traveled often to Paris, developed close friendships with the sculptor Clara Westhoff and the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and became one of her generation’s preeminent artists, helping introduce modernity to the twentieth century alongside such other painters as Picasso and Matisse.<\/p>\n

Marie Darrieussecq’s triumphant and illuminating biography at once revives Modersohn-Becker’s reputation as a significant figure in modernism and sheds light on the extreme difficulty women have faced in attaining recognition and establishing artistic careers.<\/p>\n

“A biography full of life force, drafted in the present with grace… Dazzling!”\u2014Lire Magazine<\/em><\/p>\n

“A magnetic portrait of a woman, taking shape through the seemingly simple, but always so beautiful, writing of Marie Darrieussecq.”\u2014Elle<\/em><\/p>\n

“Between the lines, this very beautiful text is read as a feminist manifesto, that constantly questions the place for women in art.”\u2014Vogue<\/em><\/p>\n
