Emil Nolde - mein Garten voller Blumen, my garden full of flowers

Meer over het boek

This new title in DuMont's themed Emil Nolde series, which includes Wanderlust and Unpainted Pictures , is devoted to the painter's garden and flower pictures. Wherever he settled, Nolde always planted a flower garden. Sitting in front of his floral arrangements, this great colorist produced numerous watercolors and oils (though the latter were done indoors, in his studio). Nolde's garden at Seebüll is a particular focus of this volume, and one of the artist's most marvelous creations, designed as it is around motifs using the the initials A and E (for his wife Ada and his own name). A sumptuous compilation, My Garden Full of Flowers records an enduring love affair and one of art's finest virtuosos of color at the peak of his achievement.
