Editing Sylt (section)

=== Sylt in painting ===
Among the first painters who discovered Sylt as a [[theme (narrative)|theme]] were [[Eugen Dücker]] and [[Eugen Bracht]]. [[Franz Korwan]] followed them.
The painter Andreas Dirks was born in [[Tinnum]] on Sylt in 1865. He studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and in Weimar, lived in Düsseldorf since 1895, accepted a professorship there in 1916 and at the same time maintained a studio in Westerland.
[[Ulrich Schulte-Wülwer]] described him as "...&nbsp;the strongest artistic talent that the island has produced". [[Carl Arp]] came to Sylt in 1903.
Painters like [[Emil Nolde]], [[Erich Heckel]], [[Anita Rée]] and [[Albert Aereboe]] moved to Sylt. Contemporary artists include the painters and sculptors [[Rainer Fetting]] and [[Ingo Kühl]], who live in Berlin and on Sylt.
