Summary

The exhibition and catalogue are dedicated to landscape representation in postmodern and contemporary photographic art. Since the end of the 18th century, the art of Romanticism has shaped our idea of idyllic and sublime nature. Painters such as Philipp Otto Runge, but above all Caspar David Friedrich, shifted the focus of attention on nature. But even Friedrich went beyond Runge's symbolization of a universal creative power within metaphysical fantasy landscapes. As a brilliant technical draftsman he transformed actual landscape scenes into images full of symbolic meaning. Many of these paintings captivate with their entrancing and oppressing depiction of spatial vastness and emptiness. A way of seeing that also shapes contemporary photographic art, which appears to focus ever more on changes of natural and commercial landscapes and examines the effects of industrialization - including agriculture - and urban sprawl. The book brings together works by about 60 artists from the collection of the DZ BANK art collection. Exhibition: Münchner Stadtmuseum, Munich, Germany (30.11.2018 - 31.03.2019).
