EMIL NOLDE – BEZIEHUNGEN ZWISCHEN MENSCHEN, NATUR UND KUNST

The 70th Annual Exhibition of the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation offers insight into the multifaceted tension between humanity, nature and art in Emil Nolde’s paintings and watercolours. His works reveal an uncompromising yet deeply poetic engagement with the fundamental questions of human existence. In contemplating them, we ourselves enter into a tangible relationship with the people, flowers, animals and landscapes depicted by Nolde, which stand for the wider cosmos of life.

Each year, Dr Christian Ring, Director of the Nolde Museum, curates a new “Annual Exhibition” drawn from the rich artistic estate preserved in Seebüll. Since 1957, the Nolde Museum in Seebüll has presented an annually changing selection of oil paintings, watercolours and prints that are exemplary of Nolde’s oeuvre. Alongside well-known masterpieces, rare works from his extensive estate are also on display. This year, 37 works are being shown in Seebüll for the first time. Home to the world’s largest collection of his works, Seebüll is the central place in which to immerse oneself in the artistic legacy of this major artist
