19) Metamorphosis

img_2688Metamorphosis as a term is important for natural sciences. We all know Metamorphosis in mythology. Even if we don’t use it as term the phenomenon is familiar in art. Just think about the ice age, the cave painting and carving of bones as f.e. the ‚Löwenmensch‘. In our Middle Ages are creatures as a mix of man and beast everywhere. A real cut came with the print media and the flyers. So became metamorphosis a basic element of the comic strip.

The metamorphosis has a magic attraction for artists. And I love it. A few days ago I discovered a booklet that I designed and wrote 1990: ‚Das war Buri. Bilder aus einem vergessenen Leben.‘ Tübingen 1990.ISBN 3-87324-088-2
