Painters [*/ ) Silver blue, sky blue and thunder blue | Paintings by Emil Nolde

Emil Nolde, Light-flooded Sea Green

“There is silver blue, sky blue and thunder blue.
Every colour holds within it a soul, which makes me happy or repels me, and which acts as a stimulus.
To a person who has no art in him, colours are colours, tones tones…and that is all.
All their consequences for the human spirit, which range between heaven to hell, just go unnoticed”

Emil Nolde, 1942
