  1. In 1913-14 #EmilNolde spent some time in the #southseas & while he was there made some interesting watercolour sketches of locals both as stand-alone portraits or scenes of activity... these seem (to me at least) an interestingly humanistic response to late #imperialism, depicting the subjects (of the #portraits) humanely & without the taint of #orientalism... here are four of the portrait sketches from the trip for you to judge yourself.
