"Det är sinnrikt, rentav genialt."

Sydsvenskan

"Jag älskar Florian Illies sätt att skriva kulturhistoria. När han tar sig an den tyska romantikens främste konstnär, Caspar David Friedrich , sker det med samma elegans och tajming som vanligt."Expressen

"Florian Illies berättar om Goethes och Friedrichs något spända relation i sin, ja, låt mig få det sagt direkt, underbara bok."

Tidningen Vi

"Illies skriver med samma känslighet och precision som Friedrich målade. ... En mycket läsvärd skildring av en konstnär som förändrat konsten i grunden. Helhetsbetyg 5 av 5."BTJ

"Illies Tystnadens magi är just det: Magi. Tystnad. Tröst. Vilken underbar bok."

Süddeutsche Zeitung

Få konstnärer är så förknippade med känslor som Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840), en av romantikens mest berömda landskapsmålare. Hans stämningsladdade konstverk har kommit att symbolisera längtan och melankoli för människor i många generationer; de gav inspiration till Samuel Becketts "I väntan på Godot" och Disneys "Bambi", medan Goethe blev så uppjagad av Friedrichs verk att han sade sig vilja slå sönder dem.

I denna breda och medryckande kulturhistoria berättar Florian Illies historien om Friedrichs målningar och den resa hans konst gjort genom århundradena. Från målningar vid ryska tsarens hov till den kända ”Kritklippor på Rügen” som dök upp hundra år efter Friedrichs död, till de tavlor som upptäcktes bland en hög vinterdäck på en bilverkstad.

Caspar David Friedrich var lika respekterad av Hitler som av Rainer Maria Rilke, lika hatad av Stalin som av 68-generationen, lika eftertraktad av maffian som av Leni Riefenstahl. Tystnadens magi skapar ett levande porträtt av en av konsthistoriens mest älskade konstnärer.

"Florian Illies berättar sin historia på ett så beläst och samtidigt lättsamt sätt att läsningen blir en ren njutning"

Svenska Dagbladet

"Man har aldrig tråkigt i Florian Illies sällskap"

Dagens Nyheter

Europa, 1930-tal. Medan det glada tjugotalet går mot sitt slut och världen är på väg mot ett nytt krig har tidens stora kulturpersonligheter annat att tänka på. Jean-Paul Sartre sitter på ett café i Paris och väntar otåligt på sin dejt Simone de Beauvoir. Marlene Dietrich smiter från ett kärlekslöst äktenskap till Berlins barer. Far och son Thomas och Klaus Mann bråkar om den andres homosexualitet. Och Vladimir Nabokov placerar kärleksfullt en nyfångad fjäril vid fotändan av Veras säng.

Föga anar de att bokbålen snart ska ta sin början.

Kärlek i hatets tid väver skickligt samman några av 1930-talets största kärlekshistorier mot en allt mörkare bakgrund av den ökande fascismen i Europa. Det är en bred och medryckande kulturhistoria om ett mytomspunnet europeiskt decennium och en tid som har fler likheter med vår egen än vi kanske skulle önska.

Vilhelm Hammershøi: Silence

A beautifully produced exhibition catalogue celebrating the work of Vilhelm Hammershøi featuring rarely exhibited works and essays from leading Hammershøi expert Felix Krämer and art historian Florian Illies. Defying categorization, the timeless paintings of nineteenth-century Danish master Vilhelm Hammershøi visually bridge the art of the Old Masters with that of the modern era. His remarkably modernist sensibility continues to capture the imaginations of contemporary audiences around the globe, with major international retrospectives and exhibitions on view over the last twenty years from London to Tokyo. Accompanying the inaugural exhibition of Hauser & Wirth’s new Basel gallery––the first ever solo show of Hammershøi’s work in Switzerland––'Silence' offers an in-depth understanding of Hammershøi’s highly individual artistic language, encapsulated in eighteen works, all from private collections and some rarely exhibited before. Bringing together the interior paintings for which Hammershøi is best known with farmstead paintings, cityscapes, and a rare self-portrait, 'Silence' demonstrates the breadth and depth of the artist’s practice. The works’ quiet yet radical originality positions the artist as a powerful precursor to the modern masters who were to come. With illuminating essays by Felix Krämer, the exhibition’s curator and a leading expert on Hammershøi, and Florian Illies, art historian and bestselling author of 'Love in a Time of Hate' and '1913: The Year Before the Storm', 'Silence' is an essential resource on the celebrated painter.

Magic of Silence

Caspar David Friedrich's Journey Through Time

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

No German painter evokes such strong emotions as Caspar David Friedrich: his evening skies remain icons of longing, his mountain vistas testaments to the grandeur of nature. He inspired Samuel Beckett to write Waiting for Godot and Walt Disney to create Bambi. Goethe, however, was so enraged by the enigmatic melancholy of Friedrich’s paintings that he wanted to smash them on the edge of a table.In a sweeping journey through time, bestselling author Florian Illies tells the story of Friedrich’s paintings and their impact on subsequent generations. Many of his most beautiful paintings were burned, first in his birthplace and then in World War II; others, like the Chalk Cliffs on Rügen, emerge from the mists of history a hundred years after Friedrich's death. Illies recounts the story of how Friedrich's paintings ended up at the Russian czar's court, others among a pile of winter tires in a Mafia car repair shop, and others still in the kitchen of a German social housing apartment. Adored by Hitler and Rainer Maria Rilke, despised by Stalin and by the generation of 68, this compelling narrative dances through 250 years of history as seen through Friedrich’s art and life. As a result, the man himself becomes flesh and blood before our very eyes.

“An enthralling and insightful cultural history—one that shows how, over the course of one pivotal decade, love, freedom and the freedom to love gave way to fear, madness and despair.” —Malcolm Forbes, Washington Post Book Review An ingeniously orchestrated popular history brings to life the most pivotal decade of the twentieth centuryAs the Roaring Twenties wind down, Jean-Paul Sartre waits in a Paris café for a first date with Simone de Beauvoir, who never shows.

Tillfälligt slut

A witty yet moving narrative worked up from sketched biographical fragments, 1913 is an intimate vision of a world that is about to change forever.The stuffy conventions of the nineteenth century are receding into the past, and 1913 heralds a new age of unlimited possibility. Kafka falls in love; Louis Armstrong learns to play the trumpet; a young seamstress called Coco Chanel opens her first boutique; Charlie Chaplin signs his first movie contract; and new drugs like cocaine usher in an age of decadence.Yet everywhere there is the premonition of ruin - the number 13 is omnipresent, and in London, Paris and Vienna, artists take the omen and act as if there were no tomorrow. In a Munich hotel lobby, Rilke and Freud discuss beauty and transience; Proust sets out in search of lost time; and while Stravinsky celebrates the Rite of Spring with industrial cacophony, an Austrian postcard painter by the name of Adolf Hitler sells his conventional cityscapes.
