Impressionism took many paths – some led via Munich
and Dachau to Slovenia. Around 1900, young Slovenian artists found new
inspiration in the vibrant art city of Munich and in the Dachau artists'
colony. Here, where light and landscape formed the central focus, they
discovered a style of painting that left realism behind and led to impressive,
colorful imagery.
What this has to do with Kandinsky and what role
Munich Realism plays will be discussed in short lectures and a subsequent talk.
The event is part of the exhibition, which is on display at the Gemäldegalerie
Dachau until April 12, 2026: “Beyond Impressionism – Slovenian Modernism and
Dachau”.
