Emil Nolde
1867 - 1956
Mohnblüten. Um 1930/1935.
Watercolor.
Signed in the lower right. On Japan paper. 46.8 x 36 cm (18.4 x 14.1 in), the full sheet. [CH].
• Large-format watercolor with a painterly effect.
• Charming combination of a delicately glazed background and the colorful, fleeting splendor of the flowers.
• Nolde's palette does not remain on the surface of the paper; it penetrates it and lends the depiction extraordinary expressiveness and depth.
• Each blossom emerges directly from the paint and is brought into an intriguing interplay with the flowers arranged next to it.
• Family-owned for three generations.
With a photo certificate issued by Prof. Dr. Manfred Reuther on June 8, 2021.
In addition, the work has been submitted to the Nolde Foundation in Seebüll for the next possible examination for inclusion in the catalogue raisonné of watercolors on February 20, 2026.
PROVENANCE: Private collection in the Rhineland (acquired from Galerie Alex Vömel, Düsseldorf, in 1940).
In family ownership since then.
"The way he groups petals and flowers, how he works with light and dark, how he combines delicate and strong elements, how he captures naturalness and yet turns the whole into a picture, a real picture, is truly masterful. Anyone who has seen his paintings of poppies and sunflowers will find it difficult to immerse themselves in the works of other artists. He has captured light, color, and beauty to the fullest."
Ada in a letter to Hans Fehr, 1927
Called up: December 6, 2025 - ca. 13.54 h +/- 20 min.
