Caspar David Friedrich and the Subject of Landscape
by Joseph Leo Koerner
Koerner's book is densely packed with thought and no less packed with an emotional drive similar to Friedrich's own, a refusal of detachment that feelsquite appropriate for the elucidation of these charged works. His prose, however, suffers from this obsessive tendency, so we get 'recuperate' fifteen times when 'recover' would certainly be good now and then, and similar repetitions that become irritating. . . . But forceful arguments and vivid explications,both historical and theoretical, make this book a most welcome antidote to Helmut Borsch-Supan's ponderous tome, Caspar David Friedrich {BRD 1975}, . . . until now the only book on him in English.
