Emil Nolde Paints Women

A recurrent theme for Emil Nolde was the portrayal of women, cast in roles to which the artist brought his troubled projections: woman as mother, muse, model, music hall girl; saints, sinners and seductresses. Here, color reproductions of 50 of Nolde's paintings are examined alongside works by artists from Giorgione and Klimt to Munch and Warhol.
