Modern Echoes

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich's birth, a master of German Romanticism, KORNFELD Galerie Berlin is proud to announce its online exhibition, 'Modern Echoes: A Contemporary Take on Romantic Themes'. This unique exhibition emerges from the spirit of this anniversary, exploring the timeless themes of Romanticism through the lens of contemporary art.
'Modern Echoes' diverges from a direct artistic lineage to Friedrich, instead embracing a broader interpretation of Romantic themes. The exhibition features an array of works from our gallery artists, each piece reflecting the enduring Romantic ideals such as deep connections with nature, introspective journeys, spiritual quests, and the quest for the sublime.

A Contemporary Take on Romantic Themes

'Modern Echoes' is an invitation to view the essence of Romantic themes through a modern artistic vocabulary, appealing to a diverse audience.
