Als Paula Modersohn-Becker am 20. November 1907 starb, gab es nur zwei Menschen, welche wussten, dass in diesem Tod eine große Künstlerin hinweg genommen wurde. Die beiden waren ihr Ehemann, der Maler Otto Modersohn, und der Bildhauer Bernhard Hoetger. Für alle andern Personen und Kreise, eingeschlossen der Worpsweder Künstlerkreis, zu dem die Verstorbene äußerlich dazugehörte, war sie eine begabte Malerin neben anderen gewesen; für manche vielleicht auch nur ein irregeleitetes Talent.

Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Gerade wegen der Zeitlosigkeit und Aktualität seiner Schriften haben es keinerlei Gruppierungen jeglicher Art versäumt, sich schamlos an aus dem Zusammenhang gerissenen Formulierungen Nietzsches zu bedienen und auf ihre Fahnen zu schmieren.
