Hermann Hesse écrivain et peintre / Hermann Hesse als Schriftsteller und Maler

Régine Battiston and Sonia Goldblum

The infinite dialogue with forms and colors, sounds and scents is an intangible hallmark of the artist Hermann Hesse, who throughout his life was able to reveal his multiple talents in literature, painting, and landscape design. His work, marked by a love of nature and landscape, experiences a continuous process of transformation. This volume opens new perspectives on these rarely connected fields within academic studies.

Among its innovative aspects, the theme of gardens occupies a central place. It is approached both through the concrete practice of the artist who designs and tends them, and on a literary and pictorial level. This study, devoted to the kinesthetic art of colors and forms in Hesse’s work, highlights the resonance of the artist’s inner landscape within his artistic creations.
