Girl in White

Description

Girl in White by Sue Hubbard explores the intriguing life of Paula Modersohn-Becker, a pioneer of modern art in Europe who, after her death, was denounced as degenerate by the Nazis. Sue Hubbard draws on the artist's diaries and paintings to vividly portray her singular existence, her battle for independence and recognition, and her intense relationship with the poet Rainer Maria Rilke.

Through this narrative, readers discover Paula's vibrant personality and her rich legacy of Expressionist paintings, while also gaining insight into the corrupted ideologies of the Third Reich.

Written with the eye of a painter and the soul of a poet, this moving story is a meditation on love, loss, memory, and, ultimately, hope.
