埃米尔•诺尔德（Emil Nolde）创作了表现主义运动中最有影响力的作品。尽管他的艺术作品在臭名昭著的展览‘堕落的艺术’中比其他任何人作品被表现得都更为突出，但他仍然是纳粹政权的热心同情者和阿道夫•希特勒的仰慕者。本书全面介绍了第三帝国期间诺尔德模棱两可的立场。此外，这本书重新审视了纳粹时期诺尔德的艺术作品，其中包括许多尚未出版或未公开展示的作品。八篇带插图的文章借鉴了这位艺术家遗产中大量未出版的信件和文件，这些信件和文件为Nolde的艺术实践，他的政治信仰和反犹太主义提供了新见解，从而打破了至今为止围绕Nolde遗产的神话。

This trenchant reconsideration of artist Emil Nolde's life and work deconstructs the myths that have surrounded Nolde's legacy until today.

Emil Nolde created some of the most powerful works of the Expressionist movement. Despite the fact that his art was represented more prominently than anyone else's in the infamous exhibition Degenerate Art, he continued to be an ardent sympathizer of the Nazi regime and an admirer of Adolf Hitler. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Nolde's ambiguous position during the Third Reich. In addition, the book takes a fresh look at Nolde's artistic production during the Nazi period, featuring numerous works which have not yet been published or publicly displayed. Eight illustrated essays draw on a wealth of unpublished letters and documents from the artist's estate that offer new insights into Nolde's artistic practices, his political beliefs, and his anti-Semitism, deconstructing the myths that have surrounded Nolde's legacy until today.
