Emil Nolde covers the complete career of one of the greatest colorists of the twentieth century, from atmospheric paintings of immense landscapes to intensely colored works dating from the Third Reich Few overviews of Nolde's career in English are currently in print Accompanies a traveling exhibition of his work at the National Gallery of Ireland and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Emil Nolde (1867-1956) was one of the greatest colorists of the twentieth century. An artist passionate about his north German home near the Danish border, with its immense skies, flat, windswept landscapes and storm-tossed seas, he was equally fascinated by the demi-monde of Berlin's caf???s and cabarets, the busy to and fro of tugboats in the port of Hamburg and the myriad of peoples and places he saw on his trip to the South Seas in 1914. Nolde felt strongly about what he painted, identifying with his subjects in every brushstroke he made, heightening his colors and simplifying his shapes, so that we, the viewers, can also experience his emotional response to the world about him. This is what makes Nolde one of Germany's greatest expressionist artists. This book, comprising five essays, has over 100 illustrations drawn from the incomparable collection of the Emil Nolde Foundation in Seeb???ll (the artist's former home in north Germany). It covers Nolde's complete career, from his early atmospheric paintings of his homeland right through to the intensely colored, so-called 'unpainted paintings', works done on small pieces of paper during the Third Reich when Nolde was branded a 'degenerate'.
