The paintings of this outstanding artist are becoming increasingly relevant – hardly a discussion about climate or sustainability takes place without one of his iconic paintings being invoked as a silent witness. In this handy volume, Barbara Hess examines the painter's work and life, from its enduring relevance and the major themes of Romanticism to his drawings. In the playful format of an A–Z book, the author takes us on a journey of discovery, showing how new views and perspectives can always be gained from what we thought we already knew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/products\/65491-caspar-david-friedrich?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=3e44f8eda\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eGerman\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH (1774 – 1840) is the most significant artist of German Romanticism. Born in Greifswald, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and settled in Dresden from 1798. His landscape compositions are characterized by deep introspection and melancholy. Friedrich demanded a new pictorial awareness from viewers, yet his works defy clear interpretation and are always open to new readings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt historian BARBARA HESS (*1964) has published works on avant-garde galleries, Abstract Expressionism, documenta, Lucio Fontana, and Jasper Johns, among others.
