The Modersohn-Becker/Rilke Correspondence thus resurrects Modersohn-Becker from the annals of Rilke’s poetry, lifting her out of and separating her from the poet’s own views, and, whilst not able to grant her a response to Rilke’s ode, reveals a tender and fruitful friendship, filled with the disagreements that were at the very heart of each of the artists’ projects. -- Iona Tait * Asymptote * Praise for Paula Modersohn-Becker: “Among the painters, along with Picasso and Matisse, who created modernism in the first years of the twentieth century.” -- John Colapinto, The New Yorker “[A] brilliant early twentieth century painter.” -- Sheila Heti, The Brooklyn Rail “Extraordinary.” -- Sue Hubbard, The London Magazine Praise for Rainer Maria Rilke: “Rilke unquestionably is one of the essential poets who wrote in German during the twentieth century.” -- Harold Bloom “The poetry he left behind is priceless.” -- John Banville, The New York Review of Books
