Specialist note
Professor Dr. Manfred Reuther from the Nolde Stiftung, Seebüll, has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
From Summer to Winter 1930, Emil Nolde stayed in the Haus Kliffende, to the north of the village of Kampen, on the island of Sylt. In 1923 the architect Walther Baedeker designed it on behalf of Heinrich Tiedemann, a Berlin-based bookseller and antiquarian. The antiquarian donated it to his wife in 1925, the actress Clara Tiedemann, who ran the Kliffende until 1955 as guest house. Haus Kliffende became a cultural and artists' meeting place in the late 1920s and 1930s, where Clara welcomed personalities of all kinds, such as the writer Thomas Mann, the publisher Ernst Rowohlt and Emil Nolde. Emil Nolde wrote of his stay in Kliffende: ‘In the nights I felt the pale cold moon, in sleep and dream disturbing me, and the beacons flashed. I drank wine as if I were a drinker.’
