Description: Caspar David Friedrich: Infinite Landscapes 250 years after the painters birth, this luxurious exhibition catalog offers glimpses into the mystery of Friedrichs largely posthumous popularity as well as the latest research into his training and techniques. Largely ignored during his lifetime, Caspar David Friedrich was a meticulous painter of emotionally evocative landscapes, often featuring solitary figures or groups of people against dramatic scenery. His work inspired many artists until today. This volume explores the role that Berlins Nationalgalerie played in bringing Friedrich into the forefront of modern art history. It also shines light into Friedrichs remarkable use of pairs in paintings-including his most famous pairing, Monk by the Sea and Abbey in the Oakwood- which he employed to express a range of different perspectives and the concept of change. Finally it examines the latest research into Friedrichs technique: his early training in Copenhagen; his sketches, preparatory drawings and underdrawings; and his unconventional selection and use of pigments. Throughout this monograph readers will find stunning reproductions of sixty paintings, including several iconic works, and fifty drawings-representing collections from around the world. Coupled with the latest research, they combine to offer a completely up-to-date appreciation of Friedrichs extraordinary talent and his unquestionable status as a pioneer of modern art.
