The show juxtaposes Goethe\u0026rsquo;s (1749\u0026ndash;1832) world of ideas and the work by the Light artist and co-founder of the ZERO group Heinz Mack (*1931, Lollar, Germany). Yet, what is it that connects the classical author to the avant-garde artist? Surprising parallels emerge, manifesting in the universality of the two artists\u0026rsquo; interests and their orientation toward the future. Mack\u0026rsquo;s enthusiasm for the structures of organic and inorganic life encounters Goethe\u0026rsquo;s ideas on morphology, the theory of the formation and transmutation of organic bodies. And paintings inspired by the Far East are affirmed by Goethe\u0026rsquo;s insight, \u0026ldquo;The Orient and the Occident can no longer be separated.\u0026rdquo; Never-before- exhibited works by Mack meet rare Goethe exponents from the Dusseldorf museum, as well as loans from Weimar, Dresden, and Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEXHIBITION:\u003cbr \/\u003e\nGoethe-Museum D\u0026uuml;sseldorf \/ Anton-und-Katharina-Kippenberg-Stiftung 4.3.\u0026ndash;30.9.2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49767665139976,"sku":"9783775744072","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775744072_02b7d0c0-5551-4a9c-be4d-8ca2c3aae68d.jpg?v=1744139603","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/44843-taten-des-lichts-mack-goethe","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
