Plot summary Styled as the memoir of a famous composer named Kuhn, Gertrud tells of his childhood and young adult years before it comes to the heart of the story his relationships to two troubled artists, the eponymous Gertrud Imthor, and the opera singer Heinrich Muoth. Kuhn is drawn to Gertrud upon their first encounter, but she falls in love with and marries Muoth, whom the composer befriended as well some years before. The two are hopelessly ill matched, and their destructive relationship provides the basis for Kuhn s Masterpiece magnum opus . Analysis Like many of Hesse s novels, there is a strong influence derived from Nietzsche, specifically his work The Birth of Tragedy . Muoth represents the passionate Dionysian elements of art, while Gertrud represents the more refined Apollonian elements. The fact that Kuhn s opera is the result of their relationship suggests the combining of the two elements to form a work of high art.

Fabrice Hybert born 1961 in Lu on , Vend e is a France French artist . Overview Internationally renowned artist, he works in many diverse ways accumulation, proliferation, hybridization sliding between painting, sculpture, installation and video. In 1994, he created UR Unlimited Responsibility , an organisation with the goal of building links between artists and enterprises. Works Hybert has suggested that his work explores the enormous reservoir of the possible Eyestorm 2007 via a deconstruction of language and communication. To this end he deploys a very wide range of media for the purpose of expanding the range of his creative practice, deconstructing language in order to present the viewer with puzzles. He abjures the coherent, instantly understandable, text and the consistent oeuvre in favour of a proliferation that reflects the fundamentally nonlinear character of cognition. This is art in the tradition of the Surrealist object and stream of consciousness. It is more akin to James Joyce s Finnegans Wake than it is to classic narrative, it is Dionysian rather than Apollonian . On the other hand some of his projects look like exercises in visual language, his square football is not especially bewildering. It is quite simply a functional object that is turned into an ideal form the cube . His idealised, cubed football maps onto the horror of function that characterises post Duchampian fine art that rose into dominance in the international art world in the 1960s. Fabrice ironically refers to such functionless objects as Prototypes d objects en fonctionnement prototypes of working objects , or POF. Another instance of connecting the previously unconnected cf.

He settled in Cracow in 1945 to study theatre after the end of World War II during which he studied at Iwo Gall s Theatre Studio from 1945 to 1947 and ballet under Feliks Parnell . Tomaszewski left Parnell s company in 1949 and resettled in Wroc aw , where he taught ballet and began to develop his concepts in mime. In 1956, Tomaszewski s Mime Studio had its premiere performance at the Polski Theatre in Wroc aw. In 1958 the Mime Studio was renamed the Wroclaw Mime Theatre and was granted the status of State theatre in 1959. Tomaszewski ceased performing in the mid 1960s but continued to direct, train, and choreograph the ensemble and all productions. Tomaszewski s conceptions of mime technique are modern much in the same way as Etienne Decroux s or Jacques Lecoq s but developed along different lines owing to the differences in Polish and French theatre traditions. Little reference is made to commedia dell arte traditions.
