The view of anatomy, figure and body through art

Throughout the history of art, the human figure has been portrayed in different ways. When abstract painting and sculpture dominated, the reality of the body as subject receded completely. But there were also eras in which art was evaluated entirely on the basis of the human figure. At the Weißensee Academy of Art symposium on "The view of anatomy, figure and body through art", art historians and artists will talk about the connection between the notion of the figure and its artistic realization.

An exhibition accompanies the symposium.
Supervision: Prof. Dr. Manfred Zoller.
