Emil Nolde - Figure

The work of this important Expressionist is often primarily associated with landscapes and flower still lives. But throughout his oeuvre, Emil Nolde was also intensively occupied with depicting the human figure, and in the process developed a highly personal visual language. The people in his paintings, be they portraits, genre pictures and couples, or allegorical, often Biblical scenes, possess a special physiognomy, a strong presence and an inner glow.
