Simplifies her language under the influence of younger artists
Back in Germany she continued to exhibit and was impressed by her younger compatriots: the Expressionists, and after the war the Bauhaus artists, inspired her to simplify her means of expression. The new direction shows in works such as Runover (1910) and Self-Portrait (1912).
