6Though Emil Nolde (1867-1956) began to paint flower watercolors fairly late in his career--around 1918--they became nonetheless central to his oeuvre. These works range from depictions of single blooms and carefully arranged still lifes to full bouquets and fields of flowers captured in flowing motion. His artistic technique in this genre was just as varied. In Emil Nolde: Flowers, 30 of Nolde's flower watercolors--many of which have never before been published--are collected together in a small, gift-book format.
