Worpswede
Worpswede. A north German village near Bremen that in the last decade of the 19th century became the centre of a group of artists who settled there, following the example of the Barbizon School in France. The most famous artist of the group 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 Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926), who published a book on Worpswede in 1903.
