Art as a form of expression is incredibly diverse and fascinatingly contradictory. So it's no wonder that it continues to cast a spell over people. Whether as a creator or viewer, with purely aesthetic quality characteristics in mind or a textbook on interpretation in their pocket, each person finds their own way of accessing art.

The current book recommendation on the occasion of the exhibition "Ein Kunsterzieher stellt aus" by Zittau artist Dirk Pradel represents another such approach. From concrete design techniques to theoretical works on the nature of the artist.
