“but what is the beauty of nature? surely nature is not trying to produce beauty, snf nor is it able to feel beauty. yet, when we look at nature, we perceive beauty. then what significance is there in a human recreating it?”

“The work of Mariele Neudecker (born 1965) deals with the concepts of “the romantic” and its reception and nationalistic abuse throughout German history. Drawing on the tradition of German romantic painting and its most prominent representative Caspar David Friedrich, the artist recreates and transforms the historical work into three-dimensional, contemporary versions.”
