Books by Michael Fried

A collection of essays by Michael Fried on important French painters and writers.

If literary impressionism is anything, it is the project to turn prose into vision. But vision of what? Michael Fried argues that the impressionists compelled readers not only to see what was described and narrated but also to see writing itself: the upward-facing page, pen and ink, the written script, the act of inscription.

Alle Ingenieure benötigen sie - kaum einer mag sie so wirklich: die Mathematik. Da hilft letztlich nur eins, die Grundlagen verinnerlichen und dann üben, üben, üben. Diese Buch, das die Themen aus "Mathematik für Ingenieure I für Dummies", also die lineare Algebra und die eindimensionale Analysis abdeckt, bietet zu jedem Thema zunächst eine kompakte Einführung. Damit Sie sich dann ins mathematische Trainingscamp begeben und ideal auf die Prüfung vorbereiten können, hat Ihnen J. Michael Fried richtig viele Übungsaufgaben und ausführliche Schritt-für-Schritt-Lösungen erstellt.

Presents an account of the Italian Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1573-1610) and the artist's revolutionary achievement. This book focuses on the emergence of the full-blown 'gallery picture' in Rome during the last decade of the sixteenth century and the first decades of the seventeenth.

With this widely acclaimed work, Michael Fried revised the way in which eighteenth-century French painting and criticism are viewed and understood. Analyzing paintings produced between 1753 and 1781 and the comments of a number of critics who wrote about them, especially Dennis Diderot, Fried discovers a new emphasis in the art of the time, based not on subject matter or style but on values and effects.
