This video [2:16] is "Young Couple," a lithograph from 1913 by Emil Nolde. He is known as one of the leading expressionists, a loose group of artists working mostly in Germany in the early 1900s and 1910s. They worked to heighten the emotional, expressive impact of their subjects by distorting the forms or exaggerating the color. Nolde's subject here is the relationship between the sexes, and this was a theme throughout his work.
