Vibrant mountain watercolors
SK · Emil Nolde (1867-1956), Expressionist and colorist from northern Germany Seebüll is particularly noted for its wide seascapes and South beaches. The fact that he has created as an admirer and connoisseur of the Swiss Alps also great mountain pictures, little is known.
Karin Schick, director of the initiative of the Kirchner Museum in Davos, now directs attention to an exhibition with over one hundred painted in bright colors, light and cloud reflections in mountain lakes, snow-capped peaks and activities for winter sports in Switzerland. At the end of the tour is Emil Nolde's watercolors they face some mountain views, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, in which it is clear how Kirchner landscapes always structured and built, while Nolde's atmospheric watercolors soft flowing, contribute in some leaves as otherworldly.
From 1892 to 1897 taught Nolde as a very young art teacher at the Industrial and Commercial Museum in St. Gallen, and from there he went on hikes and mountain tours in Appenzell, a portrait of mountain farmers and created the bizarre and fantastic mountain postcards, in which he tops the human face awarded. His first oil painting, "Mountain Giant" from 1885/86, shows him still searching, as well as "Before Sunrise". In the first watercolor, "Sunrise" (1895) Nolde refers to the deeply felt, freed from the naturalistic hues to his own style.
is a particularly interesting section the "unpainted pictures" (1938-45) devoted to the time of the stop painting during the Nazi regime. From memory, the artist created a total of 1300 pages, including images such as mountain with glowing evening sky and wide open spaces. 1948, eight years before his death, Emil Nolde traveled with his second, younger wife Yolanda again for several weeks in Switzerland. From that time is an impressive series of particularly colorful to see in bright red, orange, but blue and violet tones painted watercolors on fine Japanese paper.
