The Abstraction of Landscape: From Northern Romanticism to Abstract Expressionism - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

The 19th-century landscape and the Romantic tradition of Northern Europe as the origin of modern abstraction is the thesis of this exhibition catalogue, which seeks to visually demonstrate, through the works of the great masters, the evolution of the Romantic landscape in modern art, up to and including its ultimate abstraction in American Abstract Expressionism. Inspired by the premise of the celebrated art historian Robert Rosenblum (1927-2006), it includes 124 works by 26 European and American artists from Caspar David Friedrich to Mark Rothko, as well as the contemporary artists Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer. The works exhibited come from more than 20 European and American museums as well as private collections.
