00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.000
Dr. Christian Ring: Nolde shows,

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
relationships are the strongest motif in his art.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.000
The 70th annual exhibition here in Seebüll

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000
is dedicated to the theme of relationships between people, nature, and art.

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.000
It reveals how closely Emil Nolde intertwines the great themes of life.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.000
The closeness and alienation between people,

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.000
the elemental force of nature and the significance of art.

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000
His flower, sea, and landscape paintings make plants, waves, and clouds

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.000
appear as animated nature and living counterparts.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000
His figure paintings reflect love, longing, and conflicts.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.000
In the overall view, Nolde creates a densely woven cosmos across all media.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.000
At the center of the exhibition here in Seebüll is always the question,

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000
what significance Nolde's oeuvre has for here and now.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.000
What does each of us take away as viewers?

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.000
What impulses for thought can Nolde's work give us today?

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.000
What relevance does it have for each individual?

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.000
The exhibition "Emil Nolde – Relationships between People, Nature, and Art"

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.000
invites us to reflect on our own relationships with people,

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.000
our relationship to nature

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.000
and what role art plays in our lives.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Therefore, this exhibition concerns us all.
