Emil Nolde, quoted from Martin Urban, Emil Nolde. Blumen und Tiere. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Cologne 1965, pp. 7-8.
The German expressionist artist Emil Nolde painted his way into the hearts of art lovers with his vibrant flower pictures. Viewers are captivated by the color and power of his works. Nolde himself described painting in watercolors as a personal calling. He painted people, landscapes, animals, and flowers. From the intimate style of his early watercolors, he worked his way to a more liberated, broader, and fluid style that required an in-depth understanding of and response to the properties of the papers and the potential the colors offered. Nolde's love of flowers is rooted in his childhood and accompanied his entire artistic career. The intensity and radiance of the color and the combination of beauty and transience repeatedly inspired the artist, as is also evident in our work. More than any other subject, the flower motif allowed Nolde more freedom to indulge in his color phantasies. They allowed him to explore his ideas of the musicality and absolute effect of color to a point close to abstraction without losing his connection to nature, which always remained a prerequisite for his creativity. Aided by the wet-in-wet technique he used on absorbent paper, he utilized color as a vehicle for emotional qualities that served not to recognize the representational form but to approach his pictorial idea intuitively.
