"This magnificent volume is a major reassessment of the Romantic impulse in German art...This sweeping survey traces these themes from the Nazarene circle's medievalizing narrative pictures in the early 1800s to Bauhaus functionalism; from Arnold Bocklin's symbolist dreamscapes to Anselm Kiefer's myth-laden canvases; and in works by Philipp Otto Runge, Franz Marc, Otto Dix, Ferdinand Hodler, Paul Klee, Kurt Schwitters, Georg Baselitz and others."-publisher's weekly.
