Special guided tour: SEE AND EXPERIENCE TIME
Sat 09.11., 11h, in Austrian sign language
As part of the VIENNA ART WEEK 2024
The term "time" appears in many contexts of our daily lives. We can measure and stop time, we can have it or not have it or even sleep through it or kill it. We can appreciate and enjoy time - but can we also see it?
The visualisation of time in art is a fascinating theme that runs through different eras and styles. Especially at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which was characterised by many innovations and upheavals, images of the past, present and future collided.
In the permanent presentation "VIENNA 1900", the tour leads from historicism with mythological and academic references to impressionist snapshots. In Art Nouveau, the present is scrutinised through symbolist themes and in Expressionism, emotional expression and atmospheric landscapes become images of transience and change. The artists use various concepts to depict the fleeting and often elusive nature of time.
In simple language and with sign language interpreters, we see and experience the dimensions of time in the paintings of Makart, Canon, Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka and discover the timeless beauty of art.
