Jorinde Voigt und die Allegorie der Musik (Jorinde Voigt and the allegory of music)
The Schenkung Sammlung Hoffmann enters contemporary works into a dialogue with objects from the various museums of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and therefore presents Jorinde Voigt as well as Carl Gustav Carus.
“Common to both works is the attempt to visualise acoustic phenomena in a visual medium. In the mid-19th century, the relationship between music and the fine arts underwent a redefinition and it seemed that the boundaries between the different arts were becoming less distinct.”
