Stormy Sea

Emil Nolde was a German painter, printmaker, and watercolorist. He was initially trained as a woodcarver, and later studied painting, developing a style that involved intense color. Nolde explored typical Expressionist themes of urban nightlife but had a more abiding devotion to Biblical scenes and northern landscapes. He produced 525 prints, almost all before 1926, most of them unpublished etchings and woodcuts in black and white.
