EMIL NOLDE (1867-1956)

 
Trained as a woodcarver, Emil Nolde was almost 30 years old before he made his first paintings. The early paintings resembled his drawings and woodcuts: grotesque figures with bold lines and strong contrasts. The style was new, and it inspired the nascent movement Die Brücke (The Bridge), whose members invited Nolde to join them in 1906.  But, it was not until the garden became his locus operandi by 1915 that he built upon his mastery of contrasting luminosities to focus on color as the supreme means of expression.  Later, Nolde claimed “color is strength, strength is life,” and he could not have better characterized why his flower paintings reinvigorate our perception of color.<br><br>Much of the strength of Nolde’s dramatic, Wagnerian-like color sensibilities is the effect of staging primary colors, such as the deep reds and golden yellows of Sonnenblumen, Abend II, against a somber palette. The contrast highlights and deepens the luminosity of the flowers, not just visually, but emotionally as well. In 1937, when Nolde’s art was rejected, confiscated, and defiled, his paintings were paraded as “degenerate art” throughout Nazi Germany in dimly lit galleries. Despite that treatment, Nolde’s status as a degenerate artist gave his art more breathing space because he seized the opportunity to produce more than 1,300 watercolors, which he called “unpainted pictures.” No novice in handling watercolor, his free-flowing style of painting had been a hallmark of his highly-charge, transparent washes since 1918. Sonnenblumen, Abend II, painted in 1944, is a rare wartime oil. He let his imagination run wild with this work, and his utilization of wet-on-wet techniques heightened the drama of each petal.<br><br>Nolde’s intense preoccupation with color and flowers, particularly sunflowers, reflects his continuing devotion to van Gogh.  He was aware of van Gogh as early as 1899 and, during the 1920s and early 1930s, visited several exhibitions of the Dutch artist’s work.  They shared a profound love of nature. Nolde’s dedication to expression and the symbolic use of color found fullness in the sunflower subject, and it became a personal symbol for him, as it did for Van Gogh.

"Les tableaux sont des êtres spirituels. L'âme du peintre vit en eux." - Emil Nolde

Histoire

Sculpteur sur bois de formation, Emil Nolde avait presque 30 ans lorsqu'il a réalisé ses premières peintures. Les premières peintures ressemblent à ses dessins et à ses gravures sur bois : des figures grotesques aux lignes audacieuses et aux contrastes forts. Le style était nouveau et a inspiré le mouvement naissant Die Brücke (Le Pont), dont les membres ont invité Nolde à se joindre à eux en 1906. Mais ce n'est qu'en 1915, lorsque le jardin devient son lieu d'action, qu'il s'appuie sur sa maîtrise des contrastes de luminosité pour se concentrer sur la couleur comme moyen d'expression suprême. Plus tard, Nolde a affirmé que "la couleur est la force, la force est la vie", et il n'aurait pas pu mieux définir la raison pour laquelle ses peintures de fleurs revigorent notre perception de la couleur.

La force de la sensibilité aux couleurs de Nolde, dramatique et wagnérienne, réside en grande partie dans l'effet de la mise en scène des couleurs primaires, comme les rouges profonds et les jaunes dorés de Sonnenblumen, Abend II, sur une palette sombre. Le contraste fait ressortir et approfondit la luminosité des fleurs, non seulement sur le plan visuel, mais aussi sur le plan émotionnel. En 1937, lorsque l'art de Nolde a été rejeté, confisqué et souillé, ses tableaux ont été présentés comme de "l'art dégénéré" dans toute l'Allemagne nazie, dans des galeries mal éclairées. Malgré ce traitement, le statut d'artiste dégénéré de Nolde a permis à son art de respirer davantage, car il a saisi l'occasion de produire plus de 1 300 aquarelles, qu'il appelait "tableaux non peints". N'étant pas un novice dans le maniement de l'aquarelle, son style libre se caractérisait depuis 1918 par des lavis transparents et très chargés. Sonnenblumen, Abend II, peint en 1944, est une huile rare datant de la guerre. Il a laissé libre cours à son imagination dans cette œuvre, et son utilisation de la technique "mouillé sur mouillé" a renforcé le caractère dramatique de chaque pétale.

L'intense préoccupation de Nolde pour la couleur et les fleurs, en particulier les tournesols, reflète son attachement constant à van Gogh. Il connaissait van Gogh dès 1899 et, dans les années 1920 et au début des années 1930, il a visité plusieurs expositions de l'artiste néerlandais. Ils partageaient un amour profond de la nature. Le dévouement de Nolde à l'expression et à l'utilisation symbolique de la couleur a trouvé sa plénitude dans le sujet du tournesol, qui est devenu un symbole personnel pour lui, comme pour Van Gogh.

"La couleur est la force, la force est la vie." - Emil Nolde
