"Our landscape is scant, there is neither exuberance nor anything inebriating here, we know that well, but she will reward the love of the intimate observer with an abundance of calm and inner beauty, with grandeur and a wild and stormy life.“ Emil Nolde: Reisen, Ächtung, Befreiung. 1919-1946, published by Nolde Foundation Seebüll, Cologne 2002, vol IV, p. 9
