‎Berlin, aujourd'hui centre de gravité de la nouvelle Europe en gestation, conserve la mémoire douloureuse que lui a léguée une histoire agitée. Ce livre en retrace les grandes étapes, d'Albert l'Ours, le premier margrave du Brandebourg jusqu'à cette nuit de Noël 1992 où des milliers de Berlinois organisèrent une gigantesque chaîne lumineuse pour montrer leur attachement aux idéaux de tolérance et de fraternité. Au cours des siècles, Berlin a connu une succesion de ruptures violentes. Fondée au Moyen Age par des colons marchands, ce n'est d'abord qu'une petite résidence princière perdue aux confins de la Chrétienté. Dévastée pendant la guerre de Trente ans, la ville est reconstruite par le Grand Electeur avec l'aide des huguenots chassés de France. Sous la férule du roi-Sergent et de Frédéric le Grand, Berlin devient le centre d'un puissant Etat prussien, et de toute l'Europe on vient y respirer l'air des lumières. L'occupation française encourage le mouvement national, dont Berlin prend la tête. Peu à peu, une industrialisation forcenée transforme la ville – devenue capitale du Reich en 1871 – en une métropole trépidante. Le Berlin weimarien est un chaudron en ébulition. Mais c'est surtout une mégalopole cosmopolite qui attire tous les artistes. La reprise du pouvoir par les nazis interrompt tragiquement cette formidable effervescence. Douze ans de peste brune anéantissent la ville qui, selon les plans d'Hitler, aurait dû accueillir 10 millions d'habitants. En 1945, les Soviétiques occupent un tas de ruines. Dès lors, Berlin devient l'enjeu et le symbole de la guerre froide. Le Mur de la Honte détruit, Berlin donne toujours l'impression d'une cité inachevée tant s'y mêlent les styles architecturaux et tant les cicatrices du temps y sont encore présentes. Autre visage de son histoire, les mythes eux aussi y restent vivaces : sous les Tilleuls, la voix de Marlène continue de résonner. ‎

‎Acte Général de la conférence de Berlin. - [THE GENERAL ACT OF THE BERLIN CONFERENCE 1885]‎

‎Amsterdam, K.N.A.G., 1885. 8vo. In recent paper wrappers with brown title label pasted on the front wrappers. As extracted from ""Koninklijk Nederlands Aardrijkskundig Genootschap"". Vol. II. Very fine and clean. Pp. 213-228.‎

‎First printing of the first report on the The Berlin Conference (of 1884-85), also known as the Congo Conference or West Africa Conference. It sought to regulate European colonisation and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism period. The General Act of the Berlin Conference, can be seen as the formalization of the Scramble for Africa and is by far the most severe infringement ever on African sovereignty. The conference ushered in a period of heightened colonial activity by European powers, while simultaneously eliminating most existing forms of African autonomy and self-governance.""For at a time when an estimated 80% of Africa remained under traditional and local control, the purpose of the Berlin Conference had been for the Great Powers to establish rules amongst themselves for the colonization of Africa and the exploitation of Africa's resources. Including the division of territory, the drawing of maps, and the establishment of Congo -- as a personal possession of the Belgian King. Not surprisingly, no Africans had been invited to the Conference."" (Calmettes, Berlin 1885: The Division of Africa). ""Owing to the upsetting of Bismarck's carefully laid balance of power in European politics caused by Leopold's gamble and subsequent European race for colonies, Germany felt compelled to act and started launching expeditions of its own which frightened both British and French statesmen. Hoping to quickly soothe this brewing conflict, King Leopold II was able to convince France and Germany that common trade in Africa was in the best interests of all three countries. Under support from the British and the initiative of Portugal,Otto von Bismarck, German Chancellor, called on representatives of Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden-Norway (union until 1905), the Ottoman Empire and the United States to take part in the Berlin Conference to work out policy."" (Ngoyo, Federation of the Free States of Africa).The boarders drawn in Africa during the Berlin Conference had devastating consequences for Africa:"" ""The Berlin Conference was Africa's undoing in more ways than one. The colonial powers superimposed their domains on the African Continent. By the time Africa regained its independence after the late 1950s, the realm had acquired a legacy of political fragmentation that could neither be eliminated nor made to operate satisfactorily. The African politico-geographical map is thus a permanent liability that resulted from the three months of ignorant, greedy acquisitiveness during a period when Europe's search for minerals and markets had become insatiable.""

The Moscow-Berlin exhibition. 1950-2000 is not divided by the dividing lines of national schools and stylistic directions, does not follow a strict chronology in the fairway, and in general consciously avoids rigid schemes, because it has a different purpose - to try to understand the history of Western and Eastern Europe as an organic whole, as a common social experience experienced and reflected in vivid images by artists from different countries and generations.
