“There is silver blue, sky blue and thunder blue. Every colour 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, colours are colours, tones tones…and that is all. All their consequences for the human spirit, which range between heaven to hell, just go unnoticed.”

Emil Nolde quoted at wikiwand

“For Nolde, his lifelong love of flowers was deeply rooted with his profound sense of ‘Heimat’ that began in his mother’s garden in the village of Nolde when Emil was a child. There, Nolde later recalled, ‘I often walked with her in the garden… and so I could not help but watch all the flowers as they grew, blossomed and shone forth. There was a bed of noble red roses where I would sometimes cut back the wild, thorny shoots for her. All the flowers bloomed for her pleasure and for mine, and the sun shone out over the garden.’ (Emil Nolde Das eigene Leben (1867-1902), Cologne, 1994, p. 120).”
