Emil Nolde (1867-1956) A native of Schleswig-Holstein, Emil Nolde is considered one of the most important representatives of Expressionism. He is best known for his watercolours and expressive colour range. After training as a carver and illustrator at the art school in Flensburg, he worked for various furniture factories in Germany. From 1892 to 1898 he taught design at the Gewerbemuseum in St. Gallen. Nolde became known through small colour drawings of the Swiss mountains, of which he subsequently produced postcards. He later studied painting in Dachau and, in 1899, at the Académie Julian in Paris. From 1900 and 1905 respectively, he lived alternately in Denmark and Berlin. From 1906 to 1907, Nolde was a member of the artist group 'Brücke', and he met Edvard Munch in Berlin. In 1909, he became a member of the 'Berliner Secession'. From 1910, he exhibited the 'New Secession' in the circle of Max Pechstein. Between 1913 and 1914, he travelled to the South Seas, like Paul Gauguin and Max Pechstein. In 1930 Nolde moved to Seebüll. In the Third Reich, Nolde's work was mostly classified as 'degenerate' by the Nazi regime and confiscated or even destroyed. Today his works are presented in numerous world-class museums, including the Art Institute in Chicago, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, Berlin's Brücke Museum, the Albertina Vienna and the Kunstmuseum Basel. In Seebüll and Berlin, foundations have been set up in his honor. Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
