essay
In Emil Nolde's watercolors, color dominates form. Everything is subordinated to a luminous color. Often the flowers that Nolde had in mind cannot be determined botanically. But that didn't matter to Nolde. He captures the color accord of his flowers in the moistened Japanese paper and allows the watercolors in their purity to enter into an intimate connection with the paper. It is a deeply sensual interpretation that eludes a detailed analysis by Beckmesser. In his flower watercolors, Emil Nolde offers us a color experience that was not previously possible in the watercolor technique. His watercolors do not stay on the surface of the paper, they penetrate it and thus create a new unity. That makes them appear so extraordinary and unmistakable.
