essay
Emil Nolde owes a large part of his watercolor motifs to his native North Frisia. A connection with this barren landscape was based solely on his residence, which he had developed into his very personal realm with love and perseverance. Emil Nolde's interpretation of the Frisian farmhouse in its down-to-earth simplicity is almost mythical, as it lies crouched and silent in the meadows. Emil Nolde pays full attention to the color mood of a deliberately straightforward composition and enhances it as if by magic. It is thanks to his outstanding painting ability that the lighting moods in which Emil Nolde sees his landscapes never slide into the trivial.
