“Yet again, I mostly painted the little flower gardens. I like them so much, those bright and joyful glowing colors. Those are such quiet, pleasant hours, walking and sitting between the fragrant and blossoming flowers on a peaceful summer day. I would love my paintings to give some of that beauty. I myself do feel this in the presence of the paintings.” The first pleasant happiness.” — Emil Nolde to Gustav Schiefler (1908)
