Sinossi
La solitudine dell'uomo e la cupa bellezza della natura sono temi prominenti nell'opera di Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), il grande pittore romantico la cui importanza e influenza sono state a lungo sottostimate. Oggi ampiamente riconosciuto come l'artista tedesco più importante della sua generazione, Friedrich è morto senza aver raggiunto il successo e la fama e senza essere pienamente apprezzato fino all'inizio del XX secolo. Importante precursore degli Espressionisti, Friedrich scrisse una volta che un artista deve "chiudere l'occhio corporeo in modo da vedere l'immagine prima di tutto con l'occhio spirituale. Poi portare alla luce del giorno ciò che si è visto nell'oscurità perché possa fare reazione con altre cose dall'esterno verso l'interno".

The Wanderer above a Sea of Mist is the name of a quite popular painting, popular in a sense that a fair number of books have used it on the cover, possibly due to its awe-inspiring juxtaposition of the sprawling landscape and a young man with his back facing us. What is striking is the “cosmic lone Leggi tutto
Gives a general overview of the artist's life, some notes on artists who influenced him and he worked with, and a few notes on process. Contains a good number of works with good quality pictures, often with notes on where the piece is (or was, at time of publishing). Does not cite any sources, so it Leggi tutto
The text and information are very nice but looking at some of the larger pictures is very difficult due to being split between pages
Cómo te amo, Caspar D. Friedrich, a vos y al Romanticismo.
Not a huge book (96 pages) but the quality of the art will take your breath away - just indescribable. Like Turner, Friedrich's scope and vision seemed to expand in his later years. "The Sea of Ice" (1824) is just that but it's real, it's like you are there. "Hutton's Tomb" (1823) with it's blending of Leggi tutto
Really nice. Love Friedrich's paintings. Bear in mind, this one is in German. However, it reads quickly, as only 100 pages. Half of the book are painting reproductions, which is perfect. Many are full two pages. Besides, you can get them on amazon.co.uk really cheap. Recommended.
This was so DRY! Probably the first time anything by Taschen bored me to tears. I have so many from this series and none of them lacked this much personality. Friedrich's paintings, however, are still wonderful.
I love Caspar's paintings, but the book was slightly not that great.
