Provides an in-depth understanding of the artist & his work
14 Feb 1998
Format:Hardcover
This highly illustrative tome includes pencil sketches and tracings showing lines of force for Friedrich's major works. In addition, an in-depth discussion of his life, including cultural and socio-political influences, is discussed concurrent with a review of not only his major masterpieces, but his minor, early works as well. An absolute must for anyone who has become enamored with his work, or the work of other similar sublime, landscape artists of the period.

A Strange Little Book
11 July 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although the illustrations are well done and some printed on tissue, the lack of non-biographical text makes the book a mystery. For much of the book, partial views of paintings are presented without any discussion; the subtitle "Line and Transparency" is never explained. This makes me wonder if the book was intended as the backup for a lecture.

THE KINGDOM OF THE SOUL
13 Oct 2004
Format:Hardcover
Friedrich's work celebrates the solitude of the soul & man's union with nature. It is lonely, bleak & brilliant. It transports you to another place & time, one far removed from the chaos of modern life. This must be the definative work on CDF, so far as i know. A "must have", if ever there were one.
