Master-class given by the Wunderlich married couple

December 13, 2008

Sometimes the walls not only listen, but also speak. But they speak in a whisper, many people can not hear them whispering. At their master-class the spouses  Andrea и Thomas Folker Wunderlich, did an impossible thing – they made people hear the walls speaking.

During all those days of the museum working, people interestedly stared at the originally decorated wall with a Latin inscription “E pluribus unum…” (Out of many – one) on it. And today everyone interested took a chance to listen to the creators of this miracle – Andrea and Folker Thomas Wunderlich, who named their master-class: “Wall whispers: trompe l’oeil and calligraphy”.

A true artist doesn’t know the word “impossible”. Wunderlichs did their best and managed to involve in their art even those pragmatic men who usually say they see nothing in any kind of a picture. Going far beyond the usual understanding of calligraphy, using, for example, the open fireplace as the letter "O", they proved that calligraphy is not just curled lines and letters, but an alive art which can hold the attention of any audience.
