Am Meer. Um 1930/50.
Watercolor and ink pen.
Signed lower right. Titled on the accompanying backing board. On fine Japanese paper. 15.4 x 13.3 cm (6 x 5.2 in), the full sheet. [CH].
• Depictions of the sea and Northern German landscapes, in particular of his native Seebüll in Holstein, are found throughout Emil Nolde's entire oeuvre.
• In the present work, the artist breaks up the flat blue-gray color scheme with fine hatched lines and the motifs of small steamships emitting dark smoke.
• Atmospheric composition: the sloping dunes allow only a glimpse of the vast sea and the cloudy sky, seeming to offer the painter protection from wind and storms.
Accompanied by a written confirmation issued by Prof. Dr. Manfred Reuther, then Director of the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation, dated September 4, 2007.
The Academic Advisory Board of the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation has confirmed the inclusion of the work in a future catalogue raisonné of the watercolors and drawings of Emil Nolde (1867–1956) in writing.
PROVENANCE: Presumably Commetersche Kunsthandlung, Hamburg (with the label on the reverse).
Private collection, Northern Germany.
