For
the second year in a row, the National Gallery of Slovenia and Bled Tourist
Board are presenting works of art from the Gallery collection on the Lake
Promenade in Bled. Last year’s focus on Bled and its environs is now followed
by a look at different ways people bring joy to their lives.
All
people require leisure time and scenes connected to it are an important part of
world and Slovenian fine arts. Dance and music, socializing, mountaineering,
visiting lakes, enjoying food and the garden, children’s play, taking care of
domestic animals, swimming, walking and creating have all inspired artists to
reflect on customs, family and nature, and even comment on art and mathematical
theories and politics.
The
exhibition showcases 22 works by 18 painters, among them the bourgeois Ivan
Vavpotič, satirical Hinko Smrekar, mysterious Almanach and the world-famous Élizabeth Vigée-Le Brun.
The
exhibition has been prepared by the National Gallery of Slovenia and Bled
Tourist Board.
