Emil Nolde

Emil Nolde (1867-1956).  Emil Nolde specialized in oil and watercolor paintings but was also known for his unique use of Aquarelles, or water soluble crayons.  Like other artists of the time, he also worked with woodcuts.  His work shows poignant use of color, which was greatly influenced by his love for Vincent Van Gogh's paintings.
