Otto Modersohn (1865-1943) held a unique position among the artists of his time. He created a body of work characterized by its own high artistic quality, which cannot be confined to any stylistic mold. "A painting must be a celebration, both internally and externally," he noted in his diary. Modersohn was particularly fascinated by the moor landscapes around Worpswede, the moods along the Wümme, the meadows around Fischerhude, and the rural scenes. Nature became a mirror of his soul. This volume is not only a feast for the eyes but also honors Modersohn's work in its entirety with knowledgeable texts and documents from the artist's estate.
