Drachenkuss – im Glanz des Goldes by Siegrid Dll

Dragons and other “divine monsters”

Dragons have many visages. They usually live in fire, carry titles and crowns, and are figments of the human imagination. Their animal appearance is represented as “fiery red” in Judeo-Christian scriptures. In the Far East, the dragon is a more ambivalent figure: celestial dragons act as gods and benefactors, elevating kings to sons of dragons and playing the game of opposites with the dragons of the underworld.

Alternating between motifs of fire and ash, this book offers insights into a fantasy world in prose and poetry and spans an arc from there to four international artists as part of their exhibition KLIMT revisited to mark the 150th anniversary of Gustav Klimt’s birth.

Having first conquered the movie screen a hundred years ago, dragons have held their own in the medium of film right up to the present day.

  • The motif of the dragon in literature, art, cultural history
  • Gustav Klimt revisited, language images / image languages, poetry and prose, dragons in film
  • Richly illustrated and with contributions by Heinz P. Adamek, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, and others
  • Siegrid Düll, archaeologist, art historian, historian, writer, editor, Bad Reichenhall
