Emil Nolde was was born on a working farm in 1867 (the farm is today in Denmark, but it was then part of the Prussian Duchy of Schleswig). He quickly discovered that farm life was not for him and he traveled far and wide working as a carver, a furniture maker. He was one of the first German Expressionist artists and this spare bold woodblock print dates from 1912. The work predates the First World War, but its unsettling new style seems to predict the conflict (as indeed does its title).
