Im Schein des Unendlichen

About this book

A longing for nature and a return to values beyond the hectic, consumer-oriented world of today is deeply rooted in all of us. The need for something mysterious to counter functionality, for something profound to counter banality has been a constant companion of human existence at least since the Romantic era. On the basis of contemporary artistic positions, this catalogue illustrates in how far the romantic movement of the 18th and early 19th century is still as relevant as ever.
