'caspar david friedrich'

The symmetrical, pointed, minimalistic and sharp forms in a painting by Ann Edholm have a reference in the work by the Romantic Caspar David Friedrich.  In the painting”Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer” Friedrich placed himself by the dramatic sea with his back turned towards us. His composition offers triangular forms in the horizon, although it is not what you see at a first glance. The work of Ann Edholm talks to Friedrich and gives you hints on possibilities to see both of their work in new perspectives.  I’m alone in the silence of the exhibition and the works of Ann Edholm whisper demanding in my ears.

 

Ann Edholm often invites us to a dialogue with artworks from the art history. This is also the subject of an exhibition in Germany where for instance the work of Caspar David Friedrich is to be seen in the Hamburger Kunsthalle during autumn. “The Sea of Ice” from 1823 is juxtaposed with Richard Long’s Mountain Circle from the nineties. Conversations between old masters, modern and contemporary art are made possible in the exhibition “All art has been contemporary”. Forms, themes, questions and expressions have a lot in common now and then.

until October 2nd.

The last date to see “All art has been contemporary” at Hamburger Kunsthalle is October 31st.
