Worpswede. A north German village near Bremen that in the last decade of the 19th century became the centre of a colony of artists, following the example of the Barbizon School in France. The most famous artist to work there was Paula Modersohn-Becker, and the ‘Worpswede School’ is sometimes regarded as one of the roots from which German Expressionism sprang. Another woman artist in the group was the sculptor Clara Westhoff (1878–1954); in 1901 she married the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, who published a book on Worpswede in 1903.
