Manifested in the landscape and portrait.
In the genre portrait Best inheritance Philip Otto Runge (1777-1810), who worked in Hamburg, who paid a lot of attention to the problems of color, the author of the treatise "Color Circle". In his works, he built a fetaled, complex allegory, but really living images created, contacting directly to nature. In its self-portrait, it combines the downtime analytics and the rigor of the exact drawing. In the picture "Portrait of Parents" with amazing subtlety and thoroughness of the landscape, against the background of which the old men artist's parents are represented, wrinkled antiques, sharply contrast with the pinkish children, looking at the world widely open eyes.

Main object - nature, pictures Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840). It bowes before the greatness of nature, and also hesitates and worries, as if rocky empties with their smooth outlines and the game of light and shadow or the struggle of the German people against Napoleonic conquest. A man in Frederick's landscapes is a small lonely figure, lost in the immense expanse of the world, or a passive observer, contemplating foggy gave.
Adolf Mentsell (1815-1905) gave impetus to the flourishing of realism in German painting. The artist of broad designations, Mentsell seeks to cover life in all its diversity, he introduced the realistic method into the historic genre. In 1840, he created four hundred drawings with pen, illustrating the "History of Friedrich the Great". In the illustrations especially attracts reliability in the outcome of the historical situation, costumes, the ability to grab the characteristic. The same topic Mentsell also appeals in painting, for example, the most lively from the cycle of paintings dedicated to Friedrich 2, depicting an exquisite society surrounding Friedrich in his residence. The masterfully depicts the situation of the palace, freely grouped around the table of the gathered.

During a trip to France, Mentsell familiarized himself with Fratsus art, it even more strengthens the realistic orientation of his work. He creates one of the first in western European painting Pictures of the life of the working class, industrial labor, where accurately depict huge workshops, machines and flames lit workers, their conditions for heavy, exhausting labor. In the workshop, making it up behind a sheet of iron, they finish their scarce breakfast.
Numerous preparatory drawings for paintings made from nature, careful drawings of details of costumes, furnishings, and lively sketches of people, landscapes, interiors, performed by coal and pencil, pen and brush, characterize Mentsells as one of the largest, since the times of Dürer, Germany drawers.

Traditions of realism in German painting continues Wilhelm Leibl (1844-1900). Interest in the life of people's people, the problem of light-air and space, truthfully depicting the peasants of Bavarian villages, attracting silver tonal painting.

German artist Karl Friedrich Lessing (1808-1880).

Karl Friedrich Lessing. (Karl Friedrich Lessing (1808-1880) - German artist of the romantic direction. K. F. Lessing accounted for the grandeaged nephew of the famous poet and playwright Gothhold Efraim Lestee. Karl Friedrich was born in the family of a judicial officer in the Dwarf Silesian state Gross-Vartenberg (now Sakes). The childhood of the future artist passed in the idyllic areas of Silesia with its old towns, castles and dense forests. Back in young years, Lesuting awakened love for the nature and history of the native country. At the age of 14, Lessing went to Berlin, where he studied at Karl Friedrich Shinkel at the Academy of Architecture. In 1823, without having received the consent of the parents, he decides to become an artist, and in 1823-26 he studies in the Berlin Academy of Arts. Then, along with his friend F. V. Von Shadov, enters the Dusseldorf Academy of Arts. The first success came to the young artist in 1825 after writing the web " The courtyard of the monastery under the snow", I received positive criticism reviews and successfully sold at the Berlin exhibition. This event was reconciled by K. F. Lessing with his father, at first condemned the professional selection of the Son. In the first half of its creative path, Lessing wrote melancholy-romantic landscapes in the style of K. D. Friedrich, as well as paintings on literary and legendary scenes. As an artist-landscape officer he had a huge success. None of his contemporaries knew how to poetically and romantically expressing the beauty of German forests and wild cliffs of Garz and Eiffel. Reproductions of lesing paintings were often printed by many German magazines in the XIX century. Later, he turned to historical themes, in 1832-1867 the artist wrote almost extremely historical canvas. So, by order of the graph, the spree of Lesseing decorates his castle Helfort near Dusseldorf Frescoes from Friedrich Barbarossa. K. F. Lessing belonged to Dusseldorf School of Painting. K. F. Lessing has since been 1832 by a member of the Berlin Academy. In 1848, he was awarded the title of professor to him by Prussian king. Cavalier Order "Pour Le Mérite" (Prussia), as well as many other German and foreign orders and medals. Member of various German and foreign academies and art societies.

Lessing Carl Friedrich (Lessing, 1808-1880) - one of the most significant German painters of the XIX century.

PORTRÄT VON ROBERT KRAUSE 1858

Lessing Carl Friedrich (1808-1880)

In 1858, Lessing was invited to the position of director of the art gallery in Karlsruhe and from that time to death lived in this city is mainly engaged in landscape painting.As a historic painter Lessing has lost its importance for the present, but as a landscapeist takes another prominent place in a number of first-class masters.

The biggest complaints to current artists at all times was not the fact that the art of their ugly and is incomprehensible. And the fact that artists are most often uneducated, impatient, do not know how to read books, and do not want to know that everything has already been invented before them; Only better, more beautiful and with a more slender aesthetic base. And the bright artists of the past on which they are oriented, there are no single in the skyscoon, but in the form of constellations.

For example, Joseph Bois treated the movement "New Wild", which in two related texts told Natalie Nikolenko . The first post is dedicated to, in fact, the movement and the story of what methods were guided by its representatives in finding expressive means. Here are the excerpts from it:

Since the 60s, the 20th century among European artists is aware of the interest in expressionism and FOVIZM, which has been reborn in the early 80s in the "New Wild" movement (the name reminds of vigors - "old wild"). The goal of the flow is based on the work of the older generation masters, to update the artistic vision, resorting to various means, even aesthetic shock.

Particularly consistent in the search for new expressive agents and those were German and Austrian artists who have been impulsive, emotionality, opposing conceptuality and hyperealism. Their painting, preserving figurativeness, is distinguished by peculiar "barbaric lyrics", includes a lot of mysterious signs, it is often closed with a graffiti style.

The exhibition held in Berlin in 1982, pursued a goal of looking at the artistic legacy of the past from the standpoint of postmodern culture. They wanted to free themselves through their art from repressive intelligence restrictions in art in the last decade. This desire was so intrusive that even in some German critical articles, the direction, new wild, is called "obsessive painting"
One of the most influential artists and theorists of postmodernism of the 20th century, a member of the 1982 exhibition in Berlin was Joseph Bois (it. Joseph Beuys, 1921-1986), a former Luftwaffe pilot, who visited Russian and English captivity, the former and dismissed Professor of the Dusseldorf Art Academy, left oppositionist adhered to anarcho-utopian principles

The second post is to continue the list of artists Neue Wilde, with an additional slideshow under psychedelic music:

The visiting cards of the German avant-garde of the beginning of the 20th century was expressionism and abstract painting, but then Germany lost not only a common-flower aesthetic context, but also lost in the period of national socialism of cultural continuity. The meaning of "Wild", the post-war generation of Western German artists - representatives of neo -expressionism, in the fact that they returned to European art lost in the post-war period world glory, which pulled to the time to American abstract expressionism. The "new wild" phenomenon is the synthesis of German expressionism regenerated at the new historical stage, abstract painting and American abstract expressionism with certain allusions on romantic traditions in German culture. It can be called with confidence with an epochable event of the history of the XX century culture.

We will continue our story about several "new wild" - leading representatives, in my opinion, of this direction in painting.

Hans_peter_adamski (Hans_peter_adamski, 1947), German artist and schedule, a bright representative of the "new wild" 80s in Cologne, studied in Münssell and Düsseldorf, 5 years traveled in India, Afghanistan and Indonesia, worked in Italy, France and the USA . Today he works at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden.
