{"product_id":"friedrich","title":"Friedrich","description":"\u003cp\u003eSublime stillness: Capturing nature's moody splendor The solitude of man and the bleak beauty of nature are prominent themes in the work of Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), the great romantic painter whose importance and influence have often been underestimated. Now widely considered to be the most important German artist of his generation, Friedrich died in obscurity and wasn't fully appreciated until the early 20th century. An important precursor to the Expressionists, Friedrich once wrote that an artist must \"close your bodily eye so that you may see your picture first with the spiritual eye. Then bring to the light of day that which you have seen in the darkness so that it may react upon others from the outside inwards.\" About the Series: \u003cbr\u003e Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ea detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea concise biography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eapproximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art, History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783836539678\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £25.01","offer_id":47901801349297,"sku":"SB-3836539675-C3","price":25.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/3836539675.jpg?v=1788844678","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/friedrich","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
