Watercolor painting “Summer Flowers” ​​by Emil Nolde, limited edition reproduction on handmade paper

"Emil Nolde is undoubtedly the great color magician among the Expressionist artists. In his watercolor paintings, he achieved an almost dreamlike certainty in formal composition and in his handling of color. Pure and luminous, Nolde applies them freely to the paper with virtually unparalleled virtuosity. In this way, he discovered color as the true means of expression in his art. It was Nolde who first elevated watercolor to the status of a fully-fledged work of art. He thus shaped the development of modern German art to the present day. Above all, with their radiant luminosity, the works captivate the viewer and speak directly to emotions. Therefore, I am delighted that this enchanting watercolor has now been reproduced in outstanding quality for a select audience." (Dr. Christian Ring, Director of the Nolde Foundation in Seebüll) Image "Summer Flowers": Emil and Ada Nolde cultivated a garden wherever they lived, and so they transformed the grassland around their house in Seebüll into a blooming paradise with great effort. "The colors of the flowers attracted me irresistibly... the purity of these colors, I loved them," quotes the Nolde Foundation Seebüll, which ensures that irises, delphiniums, Turkish poppies, geraniums, lupins and much more bloom here from April to October.
