Emil Nolde (August 7, 1867 - April 15, 1956) was a
Germany|German painter born as Emil Hansen in the
village of Nolde, Germany, near the present-day
German-Danish border. He died in Seebüll,
Germany. Since 1902 he called himself after his
birthplace. He was one of the first
expressionism|expressionists, a member of Die
Brücke, and is considered to be one of the great
watercolor painters of the 20th century. He is
known for his expressive choice of colors.

Between 1884 and 1891, he studied to become a
Woodworking|carver and illustrator in Flensburg.
He spent his years of travel in Munich, Karlsruhe
and Berlin. From 1906 to 1907 he was a member of
the artist group Brücke (bridge). During the
government of the national socialist party, his
works were forbidden, and he was not allowed to
paint after 1941.  His works were condemned as
degenerate art by the Nazi regime.  During this
period, he painted many paintings while in hiding
called the "Unpainted Pictures" by reusing
canvases from prior works of art.  

Apart from paintings, Nolde's work includes color
lithographs and watercolor paintings of various
sizes, including landscapes, religious images, and
scenes from the Berlin nightlife. A famous series
of paintings covers the German New Guinea
Expedition, visiting the South Seas, Moscow,
Siberia, Korea, Japan, and China.
