Overview

English Descriptions: Max Liebermann and Emil Nolde, leading painters of their day, enthusiastically laid out gardens which even today make their homes on the Wannsee in Berlin and in Seebull extraordinary places. The catalogue gathers Liebermann's famous impressions of the garden in flower and confronts them with Nolde's atmospheric paintings and their expressive coloration. The art and life of both painters was characterized by flowering gardens with dahlias, hollyhocks, zinnias and carnations. Max Liebermann (1847-1935) had a villa with a large garden built on Berlin's Wannsee lake in 1909. It was in this garden, with a design based on his own ideas, that he found the decisive motifs for his late work. Emil Nolde (1867-1956) wrote in his autobiography how irresistibly the flowers attracted him, and how much he loved the purity of their colours. Great as their common passion for gardens and flowers was, artistically the two painters had quite different ideas. Their dispute in the Berlin Secession became so vehement that Nolde was expelled in 1910. The richly illustrated catalogue, which accompanies the exhibition 'Max Liebermann and Emil Nolde' in the Liebermann Villa on the Wannsee, looks at the artistic confrontation of the two painters with their gardens. Articles by Anke Daemgen, Martin Faass, Klaus von Krosigk, Olaf Peters, Christian Ring and others examine the different pictorial and horticultural concepts of the two artists, and put their dispute in the context of the age.

Der Katalog versammelt Liebermanns beruhmte Impressionen vom bluhenden Staudengarten und stellt sie den kraftvollen Stimmungsgemalden Noldes mit ihrer expressiven Farbigkeit gegenuber
