The Letters and Journals

"An individual history so potently expressive of a wider general condition that the life assumes the proportions of a monument or of a significant work of art. . . . [The book's] appeal is in the quintessentially human dilemma it poses, which any reader must share. Paula Modersohn-Becker's letters and journals present us with a stunning insight into a struggle of intense interest for her time and for our own." --New York Times Book Review

"The publication of this comprehensive, well-translated, superbly edited and annotated edition is a major event in art book publishing." --Publishers Weekly
