Blick in die Sammlung Schloss Fachsenfeld — Caspar David Friedrich trifft…

Caspar David Friedrich meets… Rainer Enke

Caspar David Friedrich postulated that artists should paint what appears before their inner eye. Friedrich thus gazed into nature and created landscapes that still characterize our image of Romanticism today: full of sublimity, longing and melancholy.

But what do contemporary artists see in their mind’s eye when they look at nature? Is it idyll or catastrophe, is it hope or despair?

The Fachsenfeld Castle Foundation is presenting two original sepia drawings by Caspar David Friedrich from its own collection. In artistic dialog with them are the works of contemporary artists who have explored Friedrich’s work and his inner view of nature.

The works of the following artists enter into an exciting artistic dialog with Caspar David Friedrich:

Alfred Bast • Andreas Böhm • Ulrich Brauchle • Hanne Dittrich • Martina Ebel • Artur Elmer • Rainer Enke • Christian Frumolt • Paul Groll • Rudolf Haegele • Simon Maier • Hubert Minsch • Thomas Raschke • Günther Raupp • Jessica Rühmann • Silke Schwab-Krüger • Ines Tartler • Andreas Welzenbach • Werner Zaiß
