Exhibition catalogue for the Nolde Foundation's 61st annual exhibition, also published in German as Emil Nolde: 150 Jahre Emil Nolde Mesterwerke. For the first time in the Nolde Foundation's history, that exhibition included works by another artist - four bronzes by Henry Moore, displayed in the gardens of the foundation. Moore's and Nolde's work are similar, according to Ring's preface, in their treatment of "landscape, nature and human character". pp.68-9 is a section by Astrid BECKER entitled "Emil Nolde meets Henry Moore", discussing the similarities between Moore's and Nolde's work. Influence of the landscape where they grew up on their later work,human figure as "the ultimate means of expression", and the relationship between the human - particularly female - figure and the landscape unite the artists.
