In this episode, we’ll be visiting Peasant Wedding by Tone Kralj at National Gallery of Modern Art Ljubljana in Slovenia. Welcome to Art, Culture & Books with me, Anthony King.
The museum across the road inside a beautiful park right at the top of the hill; the National Museum of Slovenia tell us: “Tone Kralj was a true Renaissance man as he worked in the techniques of painting, sculpture, printmaking, and drawing, and was also skilled in architectural planning and interior design. Over time, however, he introduced a more vibrant colour palette, the shapes of both subjects and objects became more concrete, and his expression, with its socially critical themes, moved closer to the style of New Objectivity. His figures thus became increasingly monumental and sculptural”.
