“The eyes of the painter see and see, over and over again, absorbing, comparing, organizing, designing but also sleeping, dreaming, always becoming immersed in images, often as beautiful as never seen before.” (Emil Nolde, quoted from: Martin Urban, Emil Nolde. Landschaften. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Cologne 1993, p. 28) Even at an old age, Emil Nolde wrote about his imaginative painting style, which characterized his artistic work, especially his landscape watercolors, in which Nolde was determined to give nature a human perspective, not just to see it as a viewer, but to feel and be a part of it and to create from this awareness. In his reinterpretation of landscape, Nolde becomes both its creator and its soul, a visual poet. Nolde's works are often referred to as “soul landscapes” – a “[.] free and direct expression of artistic and human experience” (M. Urban, in: E. Nolde. Landschaften. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Cologne 1969, p. 7).
In “Rosa Wolke über der Marsch”, Nolde draws on the dramatic effects of light and cloud formations to recreate a magic landscape from both memory and creativity. Executed without preparatory sketches, he used the wet-on-wet technique to apply the colors, which enabled him to achieve the unique effect of flowing forms. The wide sky appears to be split by the dramatic pink clouds that stretch across the looming gray tones. Glimmers of orange appear at the edges of the colorful landscape in green, the blue groves and the dark red farmhouses. Owing to his outstanding artistic qualities, Nolde gave the landscape a new face and expanded our perception of it. Through light and colors, the artist took his landscapes to realms beyond pure pictorial interpretation, making then unique poetic expressions of the soul. [KA]
