Art in dialogue: Caspar and I combine romance with the present

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - With "Caspar and I - Present meets Romantic", the Kunstskammel Neubrandenburg presents a captivating exhibition that can be seen until February 9, 2025. Eight talented artists from the Mecklenburg Lake District record the legacy of the famous painter Caspar David Friedrich, whose roots are in Neubrandenburg. This creative examination of Friedrich's work is not only a homage, but also a powerful comment on current social issues.

Curator Elke Pretzel emphasizes that Friedrich's painting was strongly shaped by historical events, such as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. This historical context is taken up in the exhibition and linked to today's reality. The artists address the destruction of the landscape through human action and at the same time offer perspectives of hope and possible ways out of the current crisis. The works reflect these complex emotions and thoughts and invite visitors to think about the connection between the past and the present.
