In pre-war Paris revolutionary movements such as fauvism, cubism and surrealism found their origin. The heart of the collection of Frans Jacobs Fine Art consists of works by Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Maurice Utrillo, Kees van Dongen, Raoul Dufy and others. We also include the generation of artists belonging to the post-war generation and a selection of other modern masters of the 20th century, such as Tamara de Lempicka, Egon Schiele and Lynn Chadwick.

Emil Nolde

Emil Nolde

Emil Nolde (7 August 1867 – 13 April 1956) was a German painter and printmaker. He was one of the first Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and is considered to be one of the great oil painting and watercolour 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.
