1957 Vintage Print Plate Emil Nolde Prince and Sweetheart 1918 Expressionist Art

Description: "Prince and Sweetheart, 1918" Source: Emil Nolde, published in 1957 Description Title: "As early as 1911 Nolde had begun to treat in large can- vases the fantastic, fairy tale of mythical subjects that were his starting point as an artist, and that he had repeatedly treated in graphic media. By 1912, thanks to new insights into the evocative qualities of color, he had mastered the means for treating such subjects with very great freedom. From that year onward a considerable portion of his production was devoted to the fantastic. In addition to the Old Testament legends and the Norse sagas, he drew upon oriental fairy tales. The figures he portrayed from such sources include bandits, blacksmiths, prophets, heroic warriors, princes, and Vikings (the latter reflecting Wagner's influence). Nolde treated the theme of the sexes quite often, but he always projected it on the plane of myth. A Warrior and His Wife and Husband and Wife date from 1912; Warrior and Wife, from 1913; The Ruler, from 1914; Man and Nude, from 1915. Woman and Youth, Ruler and Woman, Girl and Satan, and the painting shown here date from 1918. In this work, too, the conflict between the sexes is represented in the form of a mythological tale. This stylized Salome, who reflects traces of Jugendstil sentimentalism, is seen enticing a lascivious red-bearded prince into the garden of love, symbolized by a lily. The woman's enticing gesture is vividly expressed by the line of her shoulder; the flower glowing above the phosphorescent blue emphasizes the magical character of the scene. The colors are earthy, delicately graduated dark ochers, greens, brown violets, reds, and golds, the cumulative effect of which is a rich, sonorous harmony. In the fairy-tale lighting the brilliant red mouths and the magic lily provide the highlights. As in Brother and Sister, an over-all tonality is produced by graduated transitions between related colors." Unique and distinctive.
