CASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH FROM A TO Z
In her handy paperback, art historian Barbara Hess opens up a fascinating cosmos that extends far beyond the boundaries of classical art history. From A, for Atelier, to E, for Owl, to M, for Moon, and Z, for Zeit (Time), she explores key concepts that characterize Caspar David Friedrich's work along the alphabet. In doing so, she not only addresses little-known aspects but also casts familiar motifs and themes in a new, inspiring light. This volume invites readers to think and look beyond the alphabet, enabling a deeper engagement with the timeless legacy of arguably the most famous painter of Romanticism.
Barbara Hess, born in 1964, completed her studies in art history and Romance languages at renowned institutions in Cologne and Florence. Today, she lives in Cologne as a versatile artist, author, translator, and curator. Her creative field spans various areas of art, with a particular focus on 20th and 21st-century art.
As the author and editor of numerous books, Barbara Hess has established a firm place in the art scene. Her works demonstrate a deep understanding of art history and a passionate dedication to contemporary art forms. With an impressive portfolio of publications and her role as a curator, Barbara Hess actively shapes discussions and developments in the art world.
The volume will be available in English from March this year and can be pre-ordered now.
