Provides an in-depth understanding of the artist & his work
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.

A Strange Little Book
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.

By A Customer
This review is from: Caspar David Friedrich: Line and Transparency (Guillaud miniatures) (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.

THE KINGDOM OF THE SOUL,
By
This review is from: Caspar David Friedrich: Line and Transparency (Guillaud miniatures) (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.
