Title: Aby Warburg
Description: This survey is presented as an attempt to trace the evolution of the more organic, intellectual Warburg. Moving from the first workshops on archeology, Darwin, to the notes on the psychology of expression and seminars on astrology and Rembrandt, this study comes finally to conduct a post-mortem on the emblematic panel Mnemosyne dedicated to the pathos of the winner. Here, Warburg sought to condense, through a visual journey punctuated by a pregnant associative logic, the question of the struggle and transformation of the artistic style.
