A temporary exhibition titled Maribor Painter Eduard Lind has opened its doors at Cinema Partizan.<\/p>\n
It is dedicated to the life and work of Maribor Painter Eduard Lind<\/em><\/strong>, who worked in Maribor during the second half of the 19th century<\/strong>. The exhibition, marking the 120th anniversary of the artist's death, offers an insight into the oeuvre of this important portraitist of the Maribor bourgeoisie.<\/p>\n Eduard Lind, with his photo-realistic painting style,<\/strong> successfully competed with contemporary photography and created an extensive body of work<\/strong>, that today represents a valuable visual chronicle of bourgeois life at the time.<\/strong> His best-known works include ten monumental portraits of Maribor mayors and other prominent citizens<\/strong>, who worked in the City Savings Bank and the Theatre and Casino Society. In addition to portraits, he painted sacred works and landscapes and participated in the restoration of paintings.<\/p>\n The exhibition was prepared by Dr Valentina Bevc Varl,<\/strong> curator and museum art historian, who has spent many years researching Lind's life and work. In addition to the in-depth study of archival material and museum objects, an important part of her research has been the search for lost works by Lind<\/strong>, involving several media outlets. The exhibition features four previously unknown works by Lind<\/strong>, two of which are now part of the Maribor Regional Museum's collection, and two of which are on loan from private owners.<\/p>\n Special attention was also given to the systematic restoration of Lind's paintings<\/strong>, which are presented to the public for the first time in such a comprehensive way.<\/p>\n Accompanying the exhibition is a scientific monograph Eduard Lind, Painter of the Maribor Bourgeoisie (1827\u20131904)<\/em><\/strong>, written by Dr. Valentina Bevc Varl. The monograph, the seventh publication in the museum collection Illuminated Heritage<\/em>,<\/strong> provides a thorough examination of the painter's life journey and an overview of his works based on iconographic themes. A key part of the book is an analysis of Lind's personal notebook<\/strong>, which reveals details about his works, clients, and prices.<\/p>\n The exhibition Maribor Painter Eduard Lind<\/em> will be on show at Cinema Partizan until 19 October 2025.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":78350,"template":"","vrsta-dogodka":[28],"class_list":["post-78681","dogodki","type-dogodki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","vrsta-dogodka-obcasne-razstave"],"yoast_head":"\n
