Product Description

Although the Expressionist artist Emil Nolde spent the early and late years of his life in the far north of Germany, he always had close ties with Berlin. From 1905 until 1941 he usually spent the winter months in the capital, and he found that city life presented an inspiring challenge. In 1910–11 he created a series of oil paintings, watercolours, sketches and lithographs depicting the bohemian demi-monde enjoying the dance halls, cabaret, theatre and all-night cafés of the metropolis. A selection of these evocative works is presented here, accompanied by essays exploring the artist’s years in Berlin, dance as a motif in Nolde’s œuvre, and the influence of his visits to the famous Deutsches Theater of the impresario Max Reinhardt.
