Excursion to the Berliner Kupferstichkabinett

24.10.2019

The excursion of a study group of the study course Business Communication led on 24.10. to the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett next to the Gemäldegalerie. The curator Dr. Schalhorn supported the course "aesthetics" by a joint lecture together with the bbw lecturer Mr. Kortmöller-Scholl.

Building on old masters, the "Superstar" Rembrandt was started with two originals to celebrate "350 Years of Rembrandt". Dr. Schalhorn exclusively opened the archive and set up the otherwise closed paintings for the students. An original by Bauhaus master Paul Klee transformed the theme of aesthetics into the present day. Representing Pop Art of the 1960s, Dr. Schalhorn showed a painting by the painter Roy Lichtenstein, who experimented with new, modern forms of expression with Andy Warhol in New York. The lecture at the Original Lichtenstein showed the topicality of Pop Art and its relation to contemporary aesthetics and perception. The colorful comic style and the speech bubbles are also used today in advertising to attract attention. And the speech bubbles of the comics can be found in Messenger services such as WhatsApp.
