The series Art Revolutionists presents the first artist, Emil Nolde, one of the most prominent expressionists. He was an individualist and unique, despite briefly having ties to the groups Die Brücke, Neue Sezession and Der Blaue Reiter. He wasn’t influenced by cubism and futurism like most expressionists after 1910. In his autobiography he wrote that he doesn’t like the limitation of the term expressionist. He was sympathetic to nationalists (in 1933 he joined Danish NSDAP) which was met with outcry, which he accepted. His works were removed from German museums. The presented works reflect the preferences of museum officials and collectors of that time. 12 of Nolde’s works from before WWII will be on display at the National Museum in Gdansk.
