Sophisticated and perfidious, the camouflage of Death as a youthfully beautiful nude dancer with long, flowing hair, surrounded by a circle of watching, rather elderly gentlemen who perhaps don’t even notice the skeleton of Death shining through her beautiful, delicate body. One can guess what will happen when the dance ends.

The Artist

Emil Nolde

Born in 1867, Emil Nolde was a German-Danish painter. Of the early 20th century painters, he was one of the first to explore colour with oil painting and watercolour. His watercolours are best known for their brilliant floras and vivid, brooding storm-scapes. In 1884 when he realised farm life was not for him, he studied to become a carver and illustrator.
