Der Mensch als Industriepalast (Man as Industrial Palace) Stuttgart, 1926. Chromolithograph |
After years, I’ve been listening the album The Man-Machine from Kraftwerk again. Just great music!
By the way: The title of the album The Man-Machine is a reminiscence to Fritz Kahn’s famous book The Life of Man:
Dr. Fritz Kahn (1888-1968) was a gynaecologist in Berlin and a world-famous popular science writer who illustrated the form and function of the human body with spectacular, modern man-machine analogies. In the 1920s, his magnum opus, “Das Leben des Menschen” (The Life of Man) – a five-volume series – was renowned as a German accomplishment of global repute. In the 1930s, his books were banned and burned by the Nazis, then edited by Kahn’s publisher and reissued as plagiarisms with a superimposed anti-Semitic chapter.Best HGK
