The art of an artist must be his own art. It is... always a continuous chain of little inventions, little technical discoveries of one's own, in one's relation to the tool, the material and the colors.
"Emil Nolde" was a Germany/German Denmark/Danish Painting/painter and printmaker. He was one of the first expressionism/Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and is considered to be one of the great oil painting and watercolor painters of the 20th century. He is known for his vigorous brushwork and expressive choice of colors. Golden yellows and deep reds appear frequently in his work, giving a luminous quality to otherwise somber tones. His watercolors include vivid, brooding storm-scapes and brilliant florals.
Nolde's intense preoccupation with the subject of flowers reflect his continuing interest in the art of Vincent van Gogh.
More Emil Nolde on Wikipedia.The artist need not know very much; best of all let him work instinctively and paint as naturally as he breathes or walks.
What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work.
