Throughout his life, Nolde made watercolors depicting the coast of the North Sea near his home. He used vivid colors to transform reality\u2014evident in the three watercolors on view here\u2014hoping to reveal nature\u2019s power and magnetism. Working outdoors, Nolde considered his watercolors to be collaborations with nature: \u201cI painted the white snow as it fell, and the finished or half-finished pictures lay around covered by the snow itself. . . . I loved to find nature collaborating in this way\u2014a natural unity embracing the painter, his subject and the picture.\u201d",
