New Fellow in the Summer Term: Klaus Krüger

25 April 2025

We welcome our new fellow Prof. em. Dr. Klaus Krüger at the CAS »Imaginaria of Force«. His research interests include the theory and history of the image, in particular the aesthetics and cultural semantics of the image in the pre-modern era, as well as its various functional forms and intermedial references (e.g. altarpiece, devotional image, painting and music, image and text, art and politics, etc.). The main focus is on Italian art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque, as well as on contemporary art, the relationship between art and film, and the methods of art history. During his research stay at the CAS from April to July 2025, he will investigate the topic »konstig en kragtig – artful and powerful. On the aesthetics of overnatuurlijke kracht in Dutch painting«
