Nolde, Emil
German expressionist painter and graphic artist. Nolde studied in Paris and Dachau, joined the group of artists known as die Brücke 1906–07, and visited Polynesia in 1913; he then became almost a recluse in northeastern Germany.
He painted biblical subjects marked by a barbaric intensity of colour, still lifes, and studies of the landscape of his native region on the German–Danish border. His work includes brilliant watercolours.
