Stormy Sea c. 1930

"Stormy Sea" is a watercolor painting by German Expressionist Emil Nolde, created around 1930. The artwork features a dramatic seascape with a large, swirling cloud formation dominating the upper portion of the canvas. Nolde's characteristic bold colors and expressive brushstrokes convey a sense of impending storm and the raw power of nature. The painting's vibrant hues of purple, orange, and blue create a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to experience the turbulent energy of the scene. Nolde was known for his intensely emotional and spiritual approach to art, and his landscapes often reflect a deep connection to the natural world.
