Sunrise at the sea 1927

Emil Nolde's "Sunrise at the Sea" (1927) exemplifies his expressionist style. Nolde, a German artist, was known for his vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes. This painting uses a limited palette of blue, yellow and red to depict a sunrise over a seascape. The bold colors and gestural lines create a sense of energy and movement, characteristic of Nolde's work. The simplified forms and abstract qualities of the painting suggest a mystical and spiritual dimension, typical of Nolde’s later works, which drew inspiration from his Christian faith.
