Emil Nolde: Blühender Sommer

Posted by At Sunnyside - Where Truth and Beauty Meet on
Emil Nolde (1867-1956), Blühender Sommer, signed ‘Nolde’ (lower centre) watercolour on Japan paper, 9 x 10¾ in. (22.8 x 27.3 cm.), Executed circa 1935, Image Source: Christie’s

“There is silver blue, sky blue and thunder blue. Every color holds within it a soul, which makes me happy or repels me, and which acts as a stimulus. To a person who has no art in him, colors are colors, tones tones.. ..and that is all. All their consequences for the human spirit, which range between heaven to hell, just go unnoticed.

  • Nolde’s written note in 1942; as quoted in Nolde: Forbidden Pictures [exhibition catalog], Marlsborough Fine Art Ltd., London, 1970, p. 9
