Emil Nolde

Werk von Emil Nolde

The exhibition "A German Legend. Emil Nolde and the Nazi regime" at Hamburger Bahnhof invites visitors to understand Nolde's art in its historical context.

Emil Nolde

Emil Nolde is regarded as one of the most important artists of the 20th century. For a long time, his work was perceived independently of his political and ideological stance - especially his sympathy for National Socialism. The exhibition "Emil Nolde - A German Legend. The Artist in National Socialism" aims to examine the relationship between art, artist and historical context.

Emil Nolde and the Nazis

Although Nolde was a member of the NSDAP, the Expressionist did not adapt his art form after 1933 and encountered resistance from the regime. In 1937 more than 1,000 of his works were confiscated and deemed "Degenerate Art". Ater 1945, Emil Nolde was primarily perceived as a victim of National Socialism. The exhibition at the Museum für Gegenwart in the Hamburger Bahnhof brings together artist and ideology.
