Between Fine Arts and Science: Aspects of the Interdisciplinary Activities of Prof. Dr. Claus-Frenz Claussen Considerations on the Occasion of His Sixtieth Birthday

Science is not merely a side activity for our honoree. As a professor of physiology, I have accepted, in this primarily scientific symposium, the role of "honorer" of our friend and colleague, Prof. Dr. Claus-Frenz Claussen, for his contributions to the fine arts. I am an artistically interested academic colleague and companion of the honoree. As time is limited during this symposium, I can present only a limited representation and not a complete evaluation of the creative work of Claus. Therefore, I must rely little on systematic assessment but confine myself primarily to subjective evaluation. Nonetheless, this self-restraint shall not diminish my admiration for the artist.
