Abstract
"What is condensed in German Expressionism and in that crucial decade that was, and remains for us today, the Weimar Republic, can truly suggest the shape of the “spirit of an era”, the common thread of an “anthropological crisis”, which M. Scheler expressed in this way: «man no longer knows who he is and also knows that he doesn't know it». The artwork, with the new Expressionism emerging today, for example in the painting of Enrico Robusti, allows for a rhythmization of history and the definition of a “cultural time” in which there is also an opening to a dimension of transcendence".I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
