simplicity of expression


After a week of deep diving in the strenous universe of german grammar, I finally successed in putting down my first short lecture. As subject, I've chosen the well enough known asian poetry form "Haiku".
Further, I tried my best to disclose the tradition of juxtaposing Haikus (in the form of calligraphy) to paintings made in order to create minimalistic works. These, called "Haiga", convey the idea of the binomial beauty-simplicity rooted in the cultur of East-Asia.

Considering my not-too-wide knowledge of german, the presentation results quite synthetic. And regarding the english version, unfortunally, so far I haven't had time to occupy myself with it. 
Anyhow you might enjoy the few emblematic pictures I sparsely arranged in the pages.
