Emil Nolde

Emil Nolde (born Hans Emil Hansen; 7 August 1867 – 13 April
1956) was a German-Danish painter and printmaker. He was one
of the first Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and was one
of the first oil painting and watercolor painters of the early 20th
century to explore color. He is known for his brushwork and
expressive choice of colors. Golden yellows and deep reds
appear frequently in his work, giving a luminous quality to
otherwise somber tones. His watercolors include vivid, brooding
storm-scapes and brilliant florals

Nolde's intense preoccupation with the subject of flowers
reflected his interest in the art of Vincent van Gogh.

In recent years, Nolde's paintings have achieved prices of several
million US dollars, in auctions conducted by the leading
international auction houses. On 8 February 2012, Blumengarten
(ohne Figur) was sold by Sotheby's in London for US$3,272,673

Blumengarten (ohne Figur) (1908)

Major works

Nolde's work is exhibited at major museums around the world, The Prophet (1912) Flower Garden (1908)
including Portrait of a Young Woman and a Child, Portrait of a
Man (c. 1926), and Portrait of a Young Girl (1913–1914) at the The Burial (1915) South Sea Islander (1915)
Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia; and Prophet
(1921) and Young Couple (1913) at the Museum of Modern Art,
New York City. His most important print, The Prophet (1912), is
an icon of 20th-century art.

Blumengarten (ohne Figur) (1908), and Blumen und Wolken
