Emil Nolde

Pioneer of German Expressionism

German expressionism remains a new subject in France. Emil Nolde (1867-1956), one of the major representatives of this movement, has yet to receive any retrospective to date. For the first time in our country, an ambitious exhibition pays tribute to this great figure of modern art by bringing together ninety paintings (including the exceptional presence of the polyptych The Life of Christ from the Nolde Foundation in Seebüll, Germany) and seventy watercolors, prints, and drawings.

An Unprecedented Retrospective

This collection is presented in a chronological journey divided into twelve thematic sections (The Enchanted Mountain, A Country, Years of Struggle, Bible and Legend Paintings, The Graphic Work, Berlin Nights, Welt, Heimat, “Phantasien” and “Unpainted Images”, The Sea). For the general public, it will be a discovery; for connoisseurs, a unique opportunity to see paintings from around the world illustrating the entirety of the work.
