diesseitig oder jenseitig / This-worldly or Otherworldly

Sometimes I get this strange sensation of things or people already living in a different system or reality, somewhere beyond the usual. This might be due to the sheer beauty of the exposure, the virtuosity of  artists like Giambattista Tiepolo or Shakespeare especially in his Romances like Cymbeline. Or here, where Barnett Newman is talking about his art.



The feeling is quite real, yet there are glimpses of a beyond, somebody who does not belong to this order any more.
