Emil Nolde (* August 7, 1867 as Hans Emil Hansen in Nolde, district of Tondern of the province of Schleswig-Holstein; † April 13, 1956 in Seebüll) was one of the leading Expressionist painters. He is one of the great watercolorists in 20th century art and is known for his expressive choice of colors. Although ostracized as a "degenerate artist," he was a racist, anti-Semite, and staunch supporter of National Socialism.
