Edward Hopper : portraits of America by Wieland Schmied ( Book )
15 editions published between 1995 and 2011 in English and German and held by 637 libraries worldwide
Edward Hopper was one of the finest American Scene painters in the Realist tradition. His passion was to portray "typical America"; his city- and landscapes are vivid reflections of the then contemporary American life. Several of his paintings, such as House by the Railroad (1925), Early Sunday Morning (1930), and Nighthawks (1942), have become icons of modern American art. They depict the loneliness, anonymity, and lack of variety in the daily life of ordinary people.

Francis Bacon : commitment and conflict by Wieland Schmied ( Book )
8 editions published between 1996 and 2006 in English and held by 432 libraries worldwide
Several years after his death, Francis Bacon's place in the pantheon of twentieth-century art seems more assured than ever. The violent intensity with which Bacon's paintings give expression to the existential angst of his fellow human beings is virtually without parallel in the history of art. The work of this self-styled maverick continues to be profoundly disturbing and to resist classification in conventional categories.

Caspar David Friedrich by Wieland Schmied ( Book )
13 editions published between 1975 and 2006 in German and English and held by 397 libraries worldwide
"The art of Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) holds a special fascination. A unique figure in the age of Romanticism, Friedrich was as significant within the art of Germany as Eugene Delacroix was in France, or J. M. W. Turner in England. Yet his work was little known in its time, and after the artist's death it was long forgotten. Only in the twentieth century did it become apparent that Eugene Delacroix anticipated much of our modern experience of the world."--BOOK JACKET. "Friedrich painted strange, evocative scenes whose dark tones and ambiguous meanings seem to embody the very notion of the German Romantic visionary, yet at the same time they seem to look ahead to various modern styles. Scholars have pointed out the similarity between his paintings and the symbolic seascapes of Edvard Munch, and his atmospheric landscapes have an affinity with the work of the Impressionists, yet his use of isolated figures in a limitless expanse of space, dominated by an overwhelming sky, also evokes the sensibility of the Expressionists. Others have related his work to the intimacy of Paul Klee or the lyrical landscapes of Emil Nolde. And there is a fundamental connection between Friedrich's Romanticism and a current of abstract art in our century, allowing him to be compared with painters such as Mark Rothko."--BOOK JACKET.
