Appreciation
Already in 1899 the sculptor Clara Westhoff made a bust of her friend Paula Becker as a symbol of their friendship and shared passion for art.
Her daughter Tillie (1907-1998) founded the Paula Modersohn-Becker-Foundation (Paula Modersohn-Becker-Stiftung) in 1978.
In 1988 a stamp with the portrait of Paula Modersohn-Becker was issued in the series Women in German history by the Deutsche Bundespost.

Famous quotes containing the word appreciation:
“The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“We are tempted to say that his genius was feminine, not masculine. It was such a feminineness, however, as is rarest to find in woman, though not the appreciation of it; perhaps it is not to be found at all in woman, but is only the feminine in man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He, who, in view of its inconsistencies, says of human nature the same that, in view of its contrasts, is said of the divine nature, that it is past finding out, thereby evinces a better appreciation of it than he who, by always representing it in a clear light, leaves it to be inferred that he clearly knows all about it.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
