Paula Modersohn-Becker's Self-portrait exemplifies her significant contribution to Expressionism. Renowned for her prolific output of over 700 paintings and 1000 drawings, she uniquely depicted herself in both nude and pregnant states, challenging traditional perceptions of female artists. Her works include various mediums such as Oil, Tempera, and drawings on paper. As one of the earliest women to produce self-portraits, her pioneering approach remains influential, and her legacy is celebrated through the first museum dedicated solely to her art.
