About Summer Clouds (Sommerwolken)
Emil Nolde painted Summer Clouds in 1913, the year he departed for the faraway South Pacific islands accompanying the anthropological expedition of Kutz-Leber, which set out to study the peoples of New Guinea. During the journey across Russia, Siberia and Manchuria he made numerous notes and a few paintings. To Nolde, an artist who always lived on the banks of the Baltic or close by, the sea was always a source of inspiration. He viewed its changing state as highly symbolic and he painted it on many occasions throughout his career. The present marine landscape, executed with vigorous, heavily laden brushstrokes in powerful colours, is dominated by menacing-looking clouds whose gradual darkening, which announces an intense storm over a wind-swept sea, heightens the tension of the work.
