Biography:
Emil Hassen was born and trained as a woodcutter in Nolde, Germany. He later took the name of his birthplace instead of going by his family’s name. In Munich, he studied painting and temporarily associated himself with the rebel art group, Die Brucke (The Bridge), established in 1905 in Dresden. Originally Nolde’s work focused on Christian themes, expressed by employing distortion and aggressive brushstrokes and colors in his paintings, etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts. Living as a recluse on the German North Sea coast until his death in 1956, he experimented with landscapes, seascapes, and still-lifes.
