Museum Würth 2, Künzelsau:
"Emil Nolde - World and Home. Würth Collection and works on loan from the Nolde Foundation Seebüll
April 7 – September 28, 2025
Home is more than just a geographical location, home is a feeling. The term stands for one's own identity. What does the artist's view of the world and home tell us and what significance does home have today?
Emil Nolde was deeply influenced by his home in the German-Danish border region. Dramatic landscapes, stirring seascapes and luminous flower paintings became his trademark.
The artist broadened his vision by traveling, for example to Italy, England, France, Scandinavia, Spain and Switzerland. The famous "South Seas Journey" takes the Nolde couple via Moscow, Siberia, Korea, Japan and China to the "German protectorates" of German New Guinea. Nolde captured the landscapes, seas and flowers as well as the people he encountered in his impressive works. His experiences enriched his view of his homeland in a lasting way.
