Rolf Nesch

Rolf (Emil Rudolf) Nesch (January 7, 1893 – October 27, 1975) was a German-born Norwegian expressionist artist, especially noted for his printmaking.

Nesch had a large production of art which included graphics, material images, painting, sculpture and drawings.

Apart from drawing, which was his natural tool and means of expression throughout, it was printmaking he devoted himself to most continuously and over the greatest number of years.

And it is as printmaker that Rolf Nesch made his most significant contribution, not merely as a technical innovator who discovered the potential in new materials and methods, but also from the artistic point of view.

The National Gallery of Norway owns eleven material pictures, three sculptures as well as other graphic by Rolf Nesch.
