Juni 1966, Los 504 („Sonnenblumen“), mit Abb. Tafel 3; Galerie Nierendorf, Berlin; Westdeutsche Privatsammlung, seitdem in Familienbesitz Die Farben seines spätsommerlichen Gartens fängt Emil Nolde in dem hier vorgestellten lichten Aquarell ein. Das leuchtende Gelb und das Orange von Sonnenblume und Dahlie dominieren die Komposition und werden durch die Blütenstempel der weißen Blumen rechts fortgeführt. Kühl-dezente Kontraste setzen die blaue, lang herabreichende Blüte links und der hellgrau-violett ausgeführte Hintergrund. Der belaubte Zweig und das angedeutete Blattwerk sorgen für lebendige Akzente und verankern die scheinbar schwebenden Blüten im Bildgrund. Noldes farbsatte Pflanzenaquarelle haben nur wenig mit dem klassischen Sujet des Blumenstücks gemein. Ihm kommt es weder auf die Schilderung eines schönen häuslichen Arrangements noch auf die botanische Bestimmbarkeit der Blumen an. Er schätzt ihre Farbigkeit an sich als bildwürdig und setzt sie in ausgewogenen, ihrem natürlichen Umfeld entlehnten Kompositionen um. Dabei gestaltet er seine Motive mit raschen, fließenden Pinselstrichen rein aus der Farbe heraus und lässt die Materialeigenschaften von Aquarellfarbe und Papier für sich arbeiten - so bilden sich etwa die weißen Blüten rechts gleichsam als Negativform durch das unbemalte Papierweiß ab. Emil Nolde Sonnenblume und gelbe Dahlienblüte Watercolour on thin Japan laid paper. 35.4 x 46.9 cm. Framed under glass. Signed 'Nolde.' in dark ink pen lower right. - In fine condition; the upper left corner slightly thinned out. With a photo-certificate from Manfred Reuther, Klockries, dated 11 September 2018; the work is recorded in his archive under "Nolde A-97/2018". Provenance Private collection, Rhineland; Lempertz auction 488, Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts, 15 June 1966, lot 504 („Sonnenblumen“), with illus. plate 3; Galerie Nierendorf, Berlin; Private collection, West Germany, in family possession since In the light-filled watercolour presented here, Emil Nolde captures the late-summer colours of his garden. The luminous yellow and the orange of the sunflower and dahlia dominate the composition and are set forth in the pistils of the white flowers on the right. Cool and subdued contrasts are established through the blue flower that stretches down on the left and the background done in light grey and violet. The leafy twig and the suggested foliage provide for vibrant accents and anchor the seemingly floating blooms in the foreground. Nolde's chromatically intense watercolours have very little in common with the traditional subject of the floral piece. He is concerned neither with the depiction of a pleasant domestic arrangement nor with the possibility of the flowers' botanical identification. He considers their colours worthy of depiction in themselves and realises them in balanced compositions based on their natural surroundings. In doing so, he uses rapid and fluid brushstrokes to compose his motifs purely on the basis of colour, and he puts the material characteristics of watercolour paints and paper to work for him - thus, for example, the white flowers on the right become represented as a negative form, so to speak, through the unpainted whiteness of the paper.
