FAR EAST AND WESTERN KANAPEE
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe West-East Divan
The influence of the Middle and Far East is an essential part of our culture. The rational thinking of the West entered into a synthesis with the mythical and intuitive early on. At the end of his career, Joseph Beuys set an example with the symbol of the Eurasienstab, Eurasia. In its beginnings, so-called modernism is inconceivable without the influences of China, Japan and the Arab countries. The exhibition of objects is intended to take account of this.
