The artwork, “Flower Garden (Marigolds)” by Emil Nolde, was created in 1919 and belongs to the Expressionism art movement. It is a landscape genre painting that showcases a vibrant and colorful garden scene featuring marigolds.
In “Flower Garden (Marigolds),” Nolde employs bold and expressive brushstrokes to depict an abundant garden filled with a variety of flowers. At the forefront, numerous marigolds in vivid orange and yellow dominate the scene, interspersed with accents of red and purple flowers. The energetic application of paint reflects Nolde’s distinctive Expressionist style, characterized by a subjective perspective and vivid coloration. The background offers a lush, green foliage that provides a natural setting for the flowers, while the overall composition exudes a sense of wild beauty and exuberance.
