Paula Modersohn-Becker

Paula Modersohn-Becker broke multiple barriers by becoming the first woman artist to challenge the traditional representation of the female body in art. She was the first to paint herself nude and to do self-portraits while pregnant. A considerable amount of her artwork was based on mothers and children who are naked, and on the premenstrual girl and the post-menopausal woman.
