1957 Vintage Print Plate Emil Nolde Two Figures 1945 Expressionist

Description: "Two Figures, 1945" Source: Emil Nolde, published in 1957 Description Title: "With the end of the hostilities and the fall of the Nazi dictatorship, Nolde was at last able to work as before, and his output increased, reaching pre-War levels. He completed fifteen paintings in 1945. He set himself a special task: to make oil versions of his a series of several hundred 'Unpainted Pictures, watercolors. He chose among them those that seemed to him particularly suitable for treatment on large canvases. That he began by following the original versions closely can be seen from the lines drawn on the canvas under the coating in the work shown here. This is yet another variation on the old theme of the two-figure painting. Once again the figures a boy and a girl are at half length and psychologically contrasted: the boy's face expresses diffidence, and the girl's resignation. Both seem to be looking at some- thing that disturbed them. The painting reflects the state of mind that was typical of European youth during the war years and that persisted for a long time after the war. As a comment on the contemporary scene, the picture has tragic overtones. The treatment of color is markedly different from earlier works. Although color and light remain non-naturalistic, the former sharp contrasts have been superseded by reliance upon related tones. Dusky shadows spread over the color planes. The light is muffled and more nearly uniform, and sets off the figures with a sort of halo." Unique and distinctive. Suitable for framing. *All prints are book plates / pages that are professionally removed from an original published book or other type of publication.
