A watercolour portrait by Emil Nolde, the German Expressionist, depicting a South Sea Islander. The work is characterised by its bold brushstrokes and simplified forms.
This watercolour portrait by Emil Nolde (1867-1956), a German-Danish Expressionist painter and printmaker, depicts a South Sea Islander. Nolde was a member of the group Die Brücke (The Bridge), a key movement in German Expressionism. His work is known for its emotional force, bold colours, and often, its engagement with themes of primitivism and the exotic. Nolde's interest in non-European cultures led him to travel to the South Seas in 1913-1914 as part of a medical expedition. This experience had a profound impact on his art, resulting in a series of works depicting the people and cultures he encountered. This portrait, executed in watercolour, captures the sitter in profile, with strong, simplified features and a direct gaze. The limited palette of blacks and greys emphasises the subject's features and creates a sense of immediacy. The fluid brushstrokes and the lack of fine detail contribute to the expressive quality, characteristic of Nolde's style.

So pleased with my print and the frame it’s housed in. Fantastic quality and really adds character to the room. Communication was great and it was delivered quicker than estimated. Overall I’m extremely pleased and will recommend to friends. I’m already eying up my next purchase!
Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Painted flowers and religious scenes with colours that make Fauvism look calm. Joined the Nazi Party expecting his art would be welcomed. It wasn't.
