Emil Nolde (1867-1956), White Tree Trunks, 1908. Oil on canvas, 67.5 x 77.5 cm. Brücke-museum, Berlin.

As he developed as a painter, Emil Nolde's "handling became looser and freer in order, as he put it, to 'make something concentrated and simple out of all this complexity'." (Quote source: Styles, Schools and Movements by Amy Dempsey, Thames and Hudson, p71)
