Emil Nolde
With his depictions of marsh landscapes Emil Nolde broke new ground. His rootedness in his Northern Frisian homeland made him settle there and helped him to attain his very own pictorial language. The vastness of the landscape that surrounded Nolde‘s home was his destination for explorations. With its rugged charm, solely exhilarated by weather events, it remains a demure subject that Nolde interprets with his very own emphasis. Exuberant color worlds are the result, rendered on the paper in his unmatched watercolor technique just the way the artist feels what he sees. Nolde adds to the flat and gray green landscape, which is entirely free from any kind of optical excess, an unprecedented blaze of color. Nolde captures the changeful light atmospheres of the vast and infinite sky in order to form a symbiosis of perceived nature and abstraction. It is not about reality, its about the sensation of reality. [SM]
