Fischdampfer (Fish Steamboat) 1910

Emil Nolde's woodcut, *Fischdampfer (Fish Steamboat)*, created in 1910, is a striking example of his Expressionist style. The bold, black lines and simplified forms capture the raw energy of a ship navigating choppy waters. The dominant black and white palette creates a stark contrast, emphasizing the movement of the waves and the imposing presence of the vessel. The woodcut's starkness reflects Nolde's interest in capturing the essence of nature through bold and expressive lines. The artwork is a testament to the artist's mastery of the woodcut medium, highlighting its ability to create dramatic and powerful imagery.
