Emil Nolde and German Expressionism a Prophet in His Own Land

"Bradley explores the sources of Nolde's creative intuitions: his derivations from earlier, Romantic traditions; his passionate identification with Volkist roots, which for him assumed mythic proportion; and his mystical belief that the true artist mediates between individualistic experience and cosmic awareness. The author develops these ideas with due attention to the cultural and political climate of the time. . . . Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students." - Choice
