Otto Modersohn

German, 1865–1943

Otto Modersohn (1865–1943) was a German landscape painter and a co-founder of the Art Colony at Worpswede. He studied at art academies in Düsseldorf and Karlsruhe, and after 1889, developed a more colorful style influenced by his search for naturalism. Modersohn married three times, including to painter Paula Becker, and moved to Fischerhude after her death. In 1940, he received the Goethe Medal for Art & Science, and he died in Rotenburg in 1943.
