Out of Print Caspar David Friedrichthe greatest Caspar David Friedrich: and the Subject of Landscape of the romantic movement in Germany, May have been Europe's first truly modern artist. Combining close descriptions of individual works of art with detailed accounts of contemporary debates over these works, Joseph Leo Koerner analyzes Friedrich's art as it emerges out of—and partly reorients—a subjectivist aesthetic. This aesthetic, which was grounded in the philosophy of Kant and developed by the German Romantics, is also the foundation for the present discipline of art history. The book is not only a comprehensive account of a fascinating German artist but is also a case study of the historical origins of our assumptions about art, its message, and its functions. Friedrich's art is Caspar David Friedrich: and the Subject of Landscape brilliantly presented, analysed, and related to his love of this landscape, and to the contemporary poetry, both German and English, including particularly Wordsworth and Coleridge. The author wears his impressive all-round culture lightly. The result is a highly readable, original study. There is beautiful writing here by this author, as well as fine art by Friedrich.

Caspar David Friedrich and the Subject of Landscape | Yale University Press Caspar David Friedrichthe greatest painter of the Romantic movement in Germany, was perhaps Europe's first truly modern artist. His melancholy landscapes, often peopled by lonely wanderers, represent experiments towards a radically subjective art, one in which, as Friedrich wrote, the painter depicts not what he sees before him, but what he sees within him. Yet in their awesome power to capture the individuality of visible forms Friedrich's pictures also accept and express the Caspar David Friedrich: and the Subject of Landscape otherness of Nature. Winner of the Mitchell Prize for the History of Art, this compelling and highly original book is now made available in a compact pocket format. Beautifully illustrated, "Caspar David Friedrich and the Subject of Landscape" is the most comprehensive account ever published in English on this most fascinating of nineteenth-century masters.

Friedrich Paintings, Bio, Ideas | TheArtStory Caspar David Friedrich: and the Subject of Landscape David Friedrich September 5, - May 7, was a landscape painter Caspar David Friedrich: and the Subject of Landscape the nineteenth-century German Romantic movement, of which he is now considered the most important painter. A painter and draughtsman, Friedrich is best known for his later allegorical landscapes, which feature contemplative figures silhouetted against night skies, morning mists, barren trees, and Gothic ruins. His primary interest as an artist was the contemplation of nature, and his often symbolic and anti-classical work seeks to convey the spiritual experiences of life. Friedrich was born in Greifswald in northern Germany in He studied in Copenhagen until before settling in Dresden. He came of age during a period when, across Europe, a growing disillusionment with an over-materialistic society led to a new appreciation for spiritualism. This was often expressed through a reevaluation of the natural world, as artists such as Friedrich, J. Turner and John Constable sought to depict nature as a "divine creation, to be set against the artifice of human civilization". Although Friedrich was renowned during his lifetime, his work fell from favour during the second half of the nineteenth century. As Germany moved towards modernisation, a new urgency was brought to its art, and Friedrich's contemplative depictions of stillness were seen as the products of a bygone age. His rediscovery began in when an exhibition of 32 of his paintings and sculptures was held in Berlin. During the s his work was appreciated by the Expressionists, and in the s and s, the Surrealists and Existentialists frequently drew on his work. Today he is seen as an icon of the German Romantic movement, and a painter of international importance. Page 1 of 22 Paintings: Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon c. Report error on this page.

Contents Introduction 1 Abysm 5 Tree 15 Bibliography 29 Artificial Infinity From Caspar David Friedrich to Notch Introduction The idea of a hypothetical continuity and the survival of ro- mantic landscape in the context of a few video games primar- ily originates from how the videogame creators conceive and express Nature from a profoundly personal point of view. As a result, the demonstration of the possible coincidences and analogies between Caspar David Friedrich’s painting and the representation of Nature in Minecra has become such a fasci- nating issue which is impossible to ignore. When I was giving shape to the concept, the reading of the essays Robert Rosenblum dedicated to the validity of roman- ticism in the works of those artists on the periphery of modern art such as Vincent Van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko, helped me pinpoint some common refer- ences to those painters who share a romantic attraction to a Nature alienated from mankind.

  • F. W. Murnau, C. D. Friedrich, and the Conceit of the Absent Spectator
    MLN 633 F. W. Murnau, C. D. Friedrich, and the Conceit of the Absent Spectator ❦ Kenneth S. Calhoon Nosferatu (1922): Following a cautionary title-card, the iris opens briefly on a provincial town square. Shot from the roof of a Gothic church, its spire prominent in the foreground, the scene has the burnished feel of an albumen print. Tiny human figures can be made out on the streets below, the first harbingers of morning bustle. The iris reopens on Thomas Hutter, arranging his neckwear in a mirror, the back of his hair gilded by sunlight entering through the window at his right. With an air of characteristic self-approbation, he straight- ens and faces left. Suddenly, as if reined in by an unexpected sound, he tiptoes to the window and peers out over its ledge (Fig. 1).1 He has overheard his wife, Ellen, shown standing at an adjacent or facing window (Fig. 2). The sill is covered with potted plants; ornate wallpaper and an array of family portraits are visible in the room behind her. She is toying with a cat, inciting it to play with a locket on a chain. The camera lingers as Ellen contends with the kitten’s nonchalance. The scene has all the attributes of a tableau, presented to a gaze of which it is, or purports to be, unaware. Ellen’s innocence, which is consistent with the autonomy of the ambient space, depends on the absence of an observer. Or more accurately, the self-contain- ment of the latter scene is made possible by the stealth within the 1 Film images from Nosferatu, dir.

  • Braving the North Or Conquering the Sea: a Comparative Approach to British, German and Dutch Fiction on Climate
    Braving the North or Conquering the Sea: A Comparative Approach to British, German and Dutch fiction on climate As a Dutch scholar working on British literature people sometimes ask me why I don't research Dutch literature. Or they ask me whether climate fiction is a big thing in Dutch literature as well. I don't really have an answer to the first question – it's a matter of preference I suppose. I didn't really have an answer to the second question either – whether such a thing as Dutch climate fiction exists. Yet as I began to see the growing attention for British and German climate fiction, I became curious. How similar is Dutch literature to that of its neighbours? And where do the differences come from? These questions led me to seventeenth- century Dutch paintings, to German and British Romanticism, to the North and to the shore. For a long time, my search for Dutch literature about climate went nowhere fast. And I still have yet to find a Dutch example of literary fiction in which the landscape, especially in relation to climate crisis, is central. Today I will spend the majority of my paper contextualizing this absence in Dutch literature, and compare it to some British and German works. Isabel Hoving suggests that Dutch literature lacks the kind of Romantic tradition that British and German literature share. European Romanticism is typically explained as a consequence of the political turmoil of the late eighteenth century. [SLIDE] Yet the region that is now known as the Netherlands was not immune to this political turmoil either.

HELMUT BUCHHART 8 MASTERS OF MODERNISM Balke, Munch & Kirkeby PREFACE Aurélie Didier When I first discussed with Dieter Buchhart the possibility of organising an exhibition to be held simultaneously at both our London and New York galleries, we were both enthusiastic and eager to deliver an exhibition that was truly original. A leading expert on Edvard Munch, Dieter Buchhart came up with an inspirational exhibition concept that he had had in mind for a long time: Masters of Modernism: Peder Balke, Edvard Munch, Per Kirkeby. Based on the philosophies of Aristotle, Kant and Hegel on the subject of art, it has been acknowledged for centuries that art history has been a history of form rather than of material. Works of art in general, and paintings in particular, display a distinct form that has been “liberated from the scaffolding of mere materiality.”1 The fact that materiality has been strictly subjugated to the form is a point of view that modern art has largely overruled.

Whittington: Caspar David Friedrich‘s Medieval Burials Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 11, no. 1 (Spring 2012) Caspar David Friedrich's Medieval Burials by Karl Whittington Little can prepare a viewer for the first encounter with Caspar David Friedrich's Abbey in the Oak Forest (fig. 1); nothing in nature or in the western art-historical tradition looks very much like it. Friedrich's paintings seem to represent a familiar nowhere; various places, moments and impressions are combined into images that appear both real and constructed, familiar and disorienting. Abbey in the Oak Forest similarly places the viewer outside of a particular place and time, but the scene is not a familiar or natural one. Instead, the painting depicts a landscape of dreams or even nightmares. A Gothic ruin, a group of monks, and an open grave present only a hint of a narrative. A deteriorating graveyard and ancient, twisting oaks have filled the space where a church used to stand, as the monks move in procession through its fragmentary portal, toward a crucifix still standing in the snow. As we will see, the funeral may be Friedrich's own and the effect of this ahistorical juxtaposition of ancient ruins with a contemporary, or possibly even future burial unsettles the initial silence that the painting projects through its still, snow-muffled quiet.

  • II the Awful Aspect of the Scene: Arctic Panoramas and the Northern
    II The Awful Aspect of the Scene: Arctic Panoramas and the Northern Sublime After the martyrs of the faith, the most admirable are the martyrs of science, and among them, the most heroic [are] the navigators of the polar seas . In the history of travel no episode is more curious, no image more arresting, no drama more eventful, than wintering in the ice fields. -- Jules Verne, 1855 John Ross, already forced into early retirement, was now obliged to sit at home and nurse his wounded ego, and he never again lead an official expedition into the Arctic. Some part of this could no doubt credited to popular physiognomy; while Ross was no doubt handsome, with a mane of graying red hair, he had a substantial nose and enough of a set of jowls to answer to Munchausen's figure. He was also a Scotsman (Barrow made a particular fun of Ross's dubbing the Esquimaux "Arctic Highlanders"), and came from a relatively humble background, at least when compared to Parry, the dazzling doctor's son, who cut as much of a figure in the ballroom as on the ice. Yet to the Brontë sisters, who were enamored of the unfolding mysteries of the Arctic, both men were attractive figures of idealized consorts; Anne was said to admire "Captain Ross," while Emily preferred Parry. Barrow preferred Parry as well, for Parry's blend of daring-do, unquestioning nationalism, and almost maniacal religious faith (Parry, like Franklin, followed a daily routine of prayer with methodical regularity) fit the pre-made mold of the Arctic Man.

  • Being and Nothing Caspar David Friedrich: the Monk by the Sea
    SÁNDOR RADNÓTI* BEING AND NOTHING CASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH: THE MONK BY THE SEA Abstract: The Monk by the Sea stands alone in the œuvre of Caspar David Friedrich. Unlike the majority of his works, which are generally overburdened with meaning, making them easy to understand from a Romantic, Christian or national- ist perspective, this painting remained resistant to interpretation by almost all of his contemporaries – even by the artist himself – because the reduction and “minimalism” in the work was so unprecedented and extreme that it would take several generations before it became common practice. This was also the first work to feature Friedrich’s famous innovation, the Rückenfigur, the picture’s internal spectator, who forms a close and subjective bond with the external spectator, while the subject of the spectacle itself, for the very first time in the history of painting, is “nothing”. Keywords: landscape, seascape, Caspar David Friedrich: Monk by the Sea, minimalism, accidental masterpiece, Hein- rich von Kleist, Clemens Brentano, Friedrich Schleiermacher, “Rückenfigur”, staffage figures, Jan van Eyck, turning nothing- ness into landscape, anxiety (T)he poet is a light and winged and holy thing, world away from Romanticism,2 and if Caspar David and there is no invention in him until he has been Friedrich was aware of it, it may have nourished his inspired and is out of his senses, and the mind is no religious devotion, with its pietistic hues, as well as longer in him… God takes away the minds of poets, his profound suspicions about the conceptual knowl- and uses them as his ministers…, in order that we edge of an artwork.

With the Sublime defined as the emotional evocation of profound awe, delight and terror, the catalogue and comparative illustrations are employed to address the questions “What is Sublime?” and “What makes art Sublime?” The relationship of art from Turner, Blake, Friedrich and Cole to the Sublime is examined within the framework of religion, nature and the human element. The use of the landscape as a means to the Sublime is highlit for all four artists. The effects of the Romantic Period on the twentieth century Abstract Expressionists is discussed through Newman and Rothko.
