{"product_id":"65729-caspar-david-friedrich","title":"Caspar David Friedrich","description":"At the heart of Caspar David Friedrich's work is a new perspective on nature. The landscape paintings and drawings of the most important artist of German Romanticism break with traditional patterns of representation. Instead, they combine an unusually precise study of nature with a thorough commitment to pictorial composition. In this way, Friedrich's paintings pave a new path for reflecting on the ambivalent interplay between humans and nature. They make it clear that humans are part of nature, yet at the same time confront it with vision and reflection. The book accompanying the major Friedrich retrospective helps to rediscover his work in light of current challenges in times of climate crisis. Friedrich's paintings can inspire us to question our understanding of the relationship between humans and nature. His enduring relevance is also evident in the reception of his works in contemporary art, which is presented in the second part of the book. Diverse reinterpretations and appropriations of Friedrich's images and themes bring the Romantic view of nature into an exciting dialogue with ecological questions and contemporary perspectives on nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther information about the anniversary year can be found \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/blogs\/news\/caspar-david-friedrich\" title=\"Caspar David Friedrich Blogseite\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH (1774–1840) is, like no other painter, synonymous with Romanticism. Born in Greifswald, he studied at the Art Academy in Copenhagen and settled in Dresden from 1798. Friedrich's landscape compositions fascinated and irritated in equal measure during his lifetime. They are firmly embedded in our visual memory and prove in many respects to be adaptable to the questions and challenges of our time.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45522936299784,"sku":"9783775756044","price":54.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756044_b7cd6ad1-e0a6-4e9c-a496-d74ebe7435cd.jpg?v=1744208514","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/65729-caspar-david-friedrich","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
