Thank you for your support. I really had fun doing this video. Did you like my original German Expressionist film at the beginning? Yes, that was done by me, although some people think it's a real clip. Thanks for watching!

What's doubly tragic about Nolde is that he was actually sympathetic to the Nazis and agreed with them, only for them to reject him, brand him a degenerate, and ban him from painting (Nolde's defiance of that order was only possible because he relegated himself to a small, remote studio where few people were paying attention.) The twin tragedies are that he was given this treatment, but also that he allowed himself to be taken in by such an awful movement and ideology.

I know. Nolde was a tragic figure all the way around. I really like German Expressionist painting, but the lives of the painters are hard to read about. So much sadness. Thank you for your comment.
