{"product_id":"67009-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 will to compose images. In this way, Friedrich's paintings pave a new path to reflect on the ambivalent interrelationship between humans and nature. They demonstrate that humans are part of nature and, at the same time, confront it observing and reflecting. 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 conception of the relationship between humans and nature. His enduring relevance is evident not least 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 a tense dialogue with ecological issues and contemporary perspectives on nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurther information on 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH (1774–1840) embodies Romanticism like no other painter. 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 even during his lifetime. They are firmly anchored in our visual memory and prove to be adaptable in many respects to the questions and challenges of our time.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565154296072,"sku":"9783775757218","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775757218_c7b2c3a4-76c8-4741-a18d-6468b7ec41aa.jpg?v=1744292258","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/67009-caspar-david-friedrich","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
