Wassily Kandinsky über eigene Bilder
Die Malerei in der Übergangsphase zur Abstraktion im Werk Wassily Kandinskys konfrontiert den Interpreten mit einer bildlichen Ausdrucksweise, deren Sinngehalt nicht mehr an eine verbindliche Ikonographie und kaum noch bzw. nicht mehr an wiedererkennbare Motive gebunden ist.

The category »popular science« is elucidated in interdisciplinary and diachronic dialogue, discussing case studies from all historical periods. Classicists, archaeologists, medievalists, art historians, sociologists, and historians of science provide the first diachronic and multi-layered approach to the rhetoric techniques, aesthetics, and societal conditions that have shaped the dissemination and reception of scientific knowledge.
