Caspar David Friedrich

With Sixteen Plates in Colour and Forty-five Monochrome Illustrations. — Berlin: Henschelverlag Kunst und Gcsellschaft DDR, 1985. — 70 p. — (The World of Art)When Caspar David Friedrich died in Dresden on 7th May 1840, his art was already forgotten. Indeed, not until the German Centenary exhibition in Berlin in 1906, dedicated to German art between 1775 and 1875, did his work attract renewed attention. But ever since that exhibition, in which 40 of his works were puton display, Friedrich has been increa ingly admirednot only because he revived German landscape painting, butal o because he used his art as a medium for intensely personal statements in a way unknown before his time.
