Exaltation and Indifference: A Perspective on Nature in German Painting from Richter Backward
Richter confounded the art world in the
1970s with his evocation of Romanticism
in landscape. Robert Storr, Rosalee Solow
Professor of Modern Art at the Institute of
Fine Arts at New York University, asks if
Richter is engaged in an act of critical sabotage, is making a sincere return to tradition, or whether his concern with nature is of another order entirely.
Religion, Nature, and Art in 19th-Century Germany
Historian David Blackbourn observes that the 19th century, long regarded as an age of secularization, is better described as a century of religious persistence and religious revival. Faith and the dictates of confessional identity as a Protestant or Catholic left their mark on German politics, philanthropy, historical debate, attitudes toward nature, and art. Blackbourn, who is Coolidge Professor of History at Harvard University, discusses the work of Caspar David Friedrich and the Nazarene school of religious painters against this backdrop.
Friedrich and His Late-Twentieth-Century Progeny
Robert Rosenblum, Henry Ittleson Jr. Professor
of Modern European Art at the Institute of
Fine Arts at New York University, explores
Friedrich's artistic legacy.
This lecture has been canceled.
The Getty Museum mourns the loss of Robert Rosenblum, who died on December 6.
Please check back after January 1, 2007 for information about a new lecture on February 22.
