Publisher's Synopsis
In a country only unified since 1871, the German culture and art derived from ancient tradition. Studying German painting requires viewing it on a different scale, larger than our current geographical frontiers. From the early Renaissance through the Expressionism of the 20th century, we introduce you to the German artists who have marked history: Albrecht Dürer, the Romantic Caspar David Friedrich, and the Expressionist Otto Dix. German painting, original in its themes, is always harmony-seeking, yet inquisitive.
