ulrich baer, university professor, nyu

Paula Modersohn-Becker and Rainer Maria Rilke, two of the most important creative artists of early twentieth-century Europe, enjoyed a close friendship that left in its wake a remarkable series of letters. These deeply personal letters offer a poignant portrait of their unusually intense relationship, and of the two artists' views on art, life, love, and marriage during a period of artistic upheaval.
