The soaring sky over a largely flat landscape becomes the measure of all things for Emil Nolde. All the splendor of color that the landscape lacks benefits him. Using a brilliant watercolor, Nolde lets the sky light up and makes it the dominant element in the image.
The vastness of North Frisia and its flat marshlands with impressive cloud formations fascinated Emil Nolde throughout his life. From 1916 onwards he returned more and more often to the landscape of his childhood in the far north. With great passion, Nolde captures the special atmosphere of this landscape in colorful watercolors. Fascinated by the play of light and the changing weather phenomena, Nolde, born Hans Emil Hansen in 1867, lived and worked in the desolation of the marshland for a large part of his life, despite his intensive exchange with other artist colleagues and the great artistic recognition that he received.
Nature appears almost overpowering in the watercolor offered here. The dark mountains of clouds rage in the sky, the wind whips the waves and in between, a few individual farmsteads lie quietly, embedded in the pastoral landscape. The reddish dusk once more illuminates the group of clouds on the right like a rainbow before disappearing into the darkness of the night on the horizon. The brightly lit windows in the front courtyard remove anything threatening from the scene and illustrate Nolde's great love for nature and the isolation of life in the marshland. In the watercolor "Landscape in the evening at Ruttebüller See" he accentuates the dynamics of the clouds in a particularly powerful way with black-blue lines as a counterpoint to the stability of the horizontal land. It becomes a reflection of his inner emotional world, his own ambivalence about the forces of nature and human existence.
