Fokus sammlung 03

Museum Moderner Kunst Karnten, Klagenfurt

Landscape – along with historical painting, portrait and still life – is the most important painting genre, considered in Europe as a separate genre only since the 17th century. Its historical development shows a wide range of influences and changes, always in connection with the respective representational intention, and based on changing conditions in society, politics, culture and philosophy.

Landscape painting refers to the pictorial representation of the natural world, or of an excerpt thereof. Frequent motifs are scenes of plains, forests, parks, rivers, villages, towns, sea, lakes, coastal or mountain regions. These are reflected in the exhibition along with contemporary treatments of the theme, formulated in abstract painting and constructed landscapes in photography or film. The exhibition comprises some 160 works from the art collection of the Province of Carinthia/MMKK, documenting various positions in landscape renderings during the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

They give a representative cross-section of the attributes of the collection, presenting a broad spectrum of heterogeneous artistic concepts. A separate section is devoted to the 19th century, during which the foundations were laid for the Modern Movement; it contains works by Max and Eduard von Moro, Markus Pernhart and the brothers Ludwig and Josef Willroider. Works from the 20th and 21st centuries are grouped in individual rooms, under the above-mentioned headings, offering visitors the opportunity for an enjoyable and interesting walk to experience the whole variety and potential of the genre.
