My artwork inspired by Emil Nolde

10A)

My A1 mounted sheet inspired by the artist Emil Nolde.

Emil Nolde is unique because his style of artwork is quick, messy and child-like, whilst at the same time looking refined. It is important that as part of the expressionism era, Nolde painted on location.   

His work is multi-sensory as Nolde communicates the treacherous conditions he had to endure, all condensed into this one single picture.   The sheer beauty of Nolde’s work is the way he expresses the volatility and ferociousness of God’s destruction, whilst at the same time, conveying the anger or difficulty he must have felt in trying to actually paint the picture. Due to Nolde’s limitations in showing precision in his work, contrast and juxtaposition have been deeply emphasised. Nolde’s use of textures, layering and brush stroke movement conveys the feeling and thought he must have felt psychologically.  Nolde’s use of paint is splattered in different places to suggest a see-draw attitude. Although Nolde uses non-representational colours, his work is almost more realistic than any other landscape picture. Instead of being a luscious, serene and calm planet, Nolde shows the world in its true colours- a motivation of his that he has showcased throughout a number of his pieces.
