essay
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.
