Emil Nolde & Emil Schumacher: Kindred Spirits

Edited by Alexander Klar, Manfred Reuther, Ulrich Schumacher.
Published by DuMont Buchverlag

Emil Nolde (1867–1956) and Emil Schumacher (1912–1999) shared an expressionistic relish of bold line, brash color and emphatic contrast, and applied this style respectively to modernist figuration and mid-century abstraction and figuration. Both artists drew on the philosophical and pictorial legacy of German Romanticism in their quest for an explicitly emotional vocabulary, approaching the picture plane as a site of interior drama. This volume, published in DuMont's Nolde series, unites these kindred souls for the first time, juxtaposing the buoyant and/or moody landscapes and seascapes of Nolde with Schumacher's craggier and more gestural abstract and figurative canvases. This brilliant and revelatory pairing elucidates the uniquely logical unfolding of the twentieth-century German painting tradition, in its shift from Expressionism to Abstract Expressionism.

Emil Nolde Paints Women

Admired, Feared, and Desired

Edited by Manfred Reuther. Text by Joerg Garbrecht.
Published by DuMont Buchverlag

Emil Nolde's art was largely anchored in the familiar genres of landscape, cityscape and portrait, but his ability to infuse these genres with forceful emotion places him among the greatest artists of the past century. A recurrent theme for Nolde was the portrayal of women, cast in roles to which the artist brought his troubled projections: woman as mother, muse, model, music hall girl; angelic and demonic women, saints, sinners and seductresses; and attendant obsessions with maternal bonds, fecundity, sexuality and myth. Each of these roles played out urgent fears and longings in Nolde's psyche, affording him a lifelong subject matter and source of fascination. "My pictures came about by immersing myself in women's innermost beings," Nolde recorded. Here, color reproductions of 50 of Nolde's paintings are examined alongside precedents and comparable works by artists from Giorgione and Klimt to Munch and Warhol.

Emil Nolde: Wanderlust

Travels through Germany, Spain and Switzerland

Edited by Andreas Fluck.
Published by DuMont Buchverlag

Published in association with the Nolde Foundation, this is the sixth volume in DuMont's series devoted to painter Emil Nolde (1867-1956). As a member of Die Brücke (The Bridge), Nolde was known for his vigorous brushwork, rhythmic compositions and extraordinary use of color. A farmer's son from the German-Danish frontier, Nolde traveled widely throughout Europe: Switzerland, Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden, England, Austria, Belgium, Holland and Spain. While the artist is usually associated with paintings and watercolors of his native gardens in Germany, this latest edition focuses on his European travels and how he translated his wanderlust onto canvas. Guided by imagination, Nolde created an integrated vision of the world that celebrated a love of nature and all that was around him. Featuring mountain panoramas and studies of the people he encountered, Emil Nolde: Wanderlust gives new perspectives on this leading figure in German Expressionism.

Nolde in Berlin: Dance Theatre Cabaret

Text by Manfred Reuther.
Published by DuMont Buchverlag

Emil Nolde kept close ties to Berlin: from 1905 on, he usually spent the winter months in the capital. The painter had his own live-in studio first on Tauentzienstrasse and then later on Bayernallee, in a building that was later destroyed, in a bombing raid in 1944. In the late 1920s, Nolde even asked van der Rohe build a house for him in Dahlem. This plan was never realized, but in many of his paintings, Berlin's character plays an important role. In gathering works by Nolde around a particular theme, this large monograph revives a DuMont tradition. Nolde's vivid pictorial creations are accompanied by numerous documents relating to his various stays in Berlin and the importance of the “Deutsches Theater” and Expressionist dance for his art.

Emil Nolde: Unpainted Pictures

Text by Jörg Garbrecht, Manfred Reuther.
Published by DuMont Buchverlag

In 1941, the president of the Reichs Chamber of the Visual Arts in Berlin prohibited the painter Emil Nolde “from all professional activities in the field of the visual arts.” “I was in the midst of beautiful, productive painting when this ban on painting and selling arrived,” Nolde recalled later. “The brush fell out of my hand.” Nolde continued to paint during the eight years of his ostracism from his home in Seebüll. He called the more than 1,300 small-format watercolors and gouaches that he produced “unpainted pictures,” and wrote that “The small works on paper … provided me with great pleasure personally and as a painter.” This book illustrates over 100 of these works—more than 50 of them for the first time—as well as selected oil paintings.

Emil Nolde: Unpainted Pictures

Edited by Tilman Osterwold. Essays by Thomas Knubben, Jolanthe Nolde, Manfred Reuther,
Published by Hatje Cantz Publishers

Unpainted Pictures is the title of a fascinating watercolors series painted by Emil Nolde from 1938 through 1945. Nolde created these works in the seclusion of his own home in Seebll, after his works had been confiscated by the Nazis and he himself had been forbidden to paint. He lent many of them to friends for safekeeping, in order to protect himself and his art from Gestapo raids. These small, free, imaginative works were ''unpainted'' in the sense that they did not officially exist and were not supposed to exist--also, Nolde hoped to expand on them at a later date. He never offered any of these watercolors for sale, and today this collection--which has become, for many, the summary and epitome of his work--resides at the Nolde Foundation in Seebll. All of the 104 watercolors in the series are presented here, along with a journal, consisting of dated notes, thoughts, questions and dreams, which forms a record of the period in which the Unpainted Pictures were being created. Gorgeous, diverse and quietly moving, these Unpainted Pictures continue to be nothing short of a revelation.
