Nolde in Berlin: Dance Theatre Cabaret (English and German Edition)

Emil Nolde kept close ties to Berlin: from 1905 on, he usually spent the winter months in the capital. The painter had his own live-in studio first on Tauentzienstrasse and then later on Bayernallee, in a building that was later destroyed, in a bombing raid in 1944. In the late 1920s, Nolde even asked van der Rohe build a house for him in Dahlem. This plan was never realized, but in many of his paintings, Berlin's character plays an important role. In gathering works by Nolde around a particular theme, this large monograph revives a DuMont tradition. Nolde's vivid pictorial creations are accompanied by numerous documents relating to his various stays in Berlin and the importance of the "Deutsches Theater" and Expressionist dance for his art.
