Caspar David Friedrich
Johannes Grave
"A painting must stand as a painting, made
by human hand," wrote Caspar David
Friedrich, "not seek to disguise itself as
nature." One of his generation's most
popular painters, Friedrich imagined
landscapes of powerful beauty and
spirituality from within the confines of his
studios. This breathtaking
monograph, filled with glorious reproductions
and details of his paintings, argues for
Friedrich's reputation as a sublime artist and
interpreter of nature.

I01 - ANCIENT ART
The Impossible Museum
The Best Art You'll Never See
Céline Delavaux
Spanning centuries and encompassing a
variety of masterpieces- from paintings on
canvas and cave walls to structures and
jewelry-this fascinating compendium of "lost
art" takes readers on a historic journey and
explores how and why art can disappear
from our lives. Some works are simply
missing, such as da Vinci's Leda and the
Swan or the Romanov jewels. Others were
intentionally transformed, such as Robert
Smithson's Spiral Jetty, or destroyed, like
the Buddhas of Bamyan.
