Gesamtkunstwerk
FAQ:
What is "Gesamtkunstwerk" exactly,
and why the heck do you use
what appear to be foreign languages on this website?
ANSWER:
Part 1:
"Total Art Work":
a concept as old as opera,
and given heavy exposure by Richard Wagner
Part
2:
"Polyglotism" is a recurring Blue
Flower theme,
inspired in part by Franz Marc and Wassily
Kandinsky's
Blaue Reiter pie-in-the-sky concept
of a "world without borders"
-- art as a universal language -
and in part by the
Dadaist dismemberment of language
