More Quotes from Emil Nolde:
The artist need not know very much; best of all let him work instinctively and paint as naturally as he breathes or walks.Emil Nolde

Emil Nolde

Emil Nolde
What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work.
