description: "Emil Nolde, aka Hans Emil Hansen, was born in 1867 in the small village of Nolde near Tønder. The famous painter’s deep love of his home in the border region shines through in the colourful, expressive motifs: low-hanging clouds, rough seas, and the vastness of the landscape. Expressionist art was considered \"degenerate\" by the Hitler regime. All the more astonishing, Nolde was a supporter of the Nazi regime until the collapse of the 3rd Reich. In the Nolde Museum in Seebüll, the former home and studio of Emil and Ada Nolde, 170 of Nolde’s works are exhibited, including graphics, paintings, drawings, and watercolours. The collection also contains the legendary \"Unpainted Pictures\"; these are small watercolours that served as models for Nolde's oil paintings."

Emil Nolde, aka Hans Emil Hansen, was born in 1867 in the small village of Nolde near Tønder. The famous painter’s deep love of his home in the border region shines through in the colourful, expressive motifs: low-hanging clouds, rough seas, and the vastness of the landscape. Expressionist art was considered "degenerate" by the Hitler regime. All the more astonishing, Nolde was a supporter of the Nazi regime until the collapse of the 3rd Reich. In the Nolde Museum in Seebüll, the former home and studio of Emil and Ada Nolde, 170 of Nolde’s works are exhibited, including graphics, paintings, drawings, and watercolours. The collection also contains the legendary "Unpainted Pictures"; these are small watercolours that served as models for Nolde's oil paintings.
