Emil Hansen was born on August 7, 1867 in the German-Danish border region. He later adopted the name of his hometown Nolde as his stage name. After an apprenticeship as a furniture draftsman and wood carver in Flensburg from 1884 to 1888, he worked for various furniture factories in Munich, Karlsruhe and Berlin. In 1892 Emil Nolde received a position as a teacher for commercial drawing at the trade museum in St. Gallen, which he held until 1898. There, where primarily landscape watercolors and drawings by the mountain farmers were created, Nolde became known for his small colored drawings of the Swiss mountains. With the decision to become a painter, Nolde finally goes to Munich, but the academy under Franz von Stuck rejects him. This was followed by studies at Adolf Hölzel's private painting school in Dachau and, from 1899, at the Académie Julian in Paris. In 1900 he rents a studio in Copenhagen and in 1903 moves to the island of Alsen. By dealing with the neo-impressionists Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch and James Ensor, Nolde moved from his initially romantic naturalism to an independent style in which color played an essential role. color-intensive, luminous flower pictures are created. In 1906, during a stay in Alsen, Nolde met the "Brücke" painters, whose group he temporarily joined. The turn to watercolor begins in a series of portrait studies. When Nolde made his first attempts at this technique in 1909 on non-absorbent paper, leaving large parts of the white sheet and dispensing with contouring in the object detection, these innovations were forward-looking. In 1910, after a controversy with Max Liebermann, Emil Nolde was expelled from the Berlin Secession and founded the New Secession with other rejected artists, in whose exhibitions he participated until 1912. Fascinated less by Berlin city life, which he captures in a few expressive pictures, than by primitivism, Nolde paints still lifes with exotic figures and masked pictures. From an expedition to New Guinea in 1913 he brought with him a wealth of study material, which he processed in numerous works until 1915. From 1916 he spends the summer on the island of Föhr. that he captures in some expressive pictures as being fascinated by primitivism, Nolde paints still lifes with exotic figures and masked pictures.

Emil Nolde is breaking new ground with his marshland. The roots in the North Frisian homeland moved him to settle down there and realize his own visual language. The expanse of the marshland that surrounds Nolde's residence becomes the goal of his explorations and remains in its austere severity, only inspired by weather-related events, a brittle subject that Nolde interprets with his own emphasis. The results are exuberant worlds of color, as the artist perceives them and brings them to paper in his inimitable watercolor technique. Nolde thus gives a landscape that is simply flat and gray-green, devoid of any visual excesses, an unprecedented level of color. It is the changing light moods of a wide sky that knows no boundaries that Nolde captures, in order to combine them into a symbiosis of perceived closeness to nature and deliberate abstraction. Reality is not required, but a sense of reality.
In 1928 Nolde settled in Seebüll. The garden created there becomes an inexhaustible source of inspiration for his painting, coastal landscapes and religious scenes also become main subjects. Ostracized as an artist by the National Socialists and banned from working since 1941, Nolde began painting his "Unpainted Pictures" in Seebüll from 1938, many hundreds of small watercolors, which he took up again as oil paintings after 1945. In the last years of his life, he mainly created watercolors with flower and landscape motifs from the vicinity of his house in Seebüll, where Nolde died in 1956. [KD].
