The Künstlerbund Graz is an Austrian association of visual artists . It was founded on April 27, 1925 by 14 artists belonging to the second generation of Modernism, all members of the Styrian Artists' Cooperative , based in Graz .
history
The group of artists was characterized from the start by an open attitude to all art movements against, but was always very connected to traditional art styles. It already included painters, sculptors, architects and craftsmen when it was founded. As a program she called “only to show quality exhibitions”; the Graz Secession, founded two years earlier in 1923, was more avant-garde . In addition to Graz as an exhibition venue, external exhibitions were organized in Bautzen in 1925 and in Rome in 1931 .
The Künstlerbund was forcibly dissolved in 1938, but was re-established in 1945 and had an increase in members. From 1962 on, guests were invited to the exhibitions, and relationships with the Esslingen Artists' Guild have existed since 1968 .
Over the decades the Künstlerbund Graz has produced artists from over 300 members such as B. Werner Augustiner , one of the most important Austrian exponents of French Expressionism , Leo Scheu , founding father of the Künstlerhaus Graz and pioneering portrait painter, or Norbertine Bresslern-Roth , one of the most important animal painters worldwide.
In addition to the annual exhibitions in the Künstlerhaus Graz , exhibitions of the Künstlerbund Graz u. a. in New York (Live Hall Gallery, Montclair / USA), Italy (Centro d 'Arte S. Vidal / Venice), Hungary (Kulturzentrum / Szombathely), Germany (Galerie Boehner / Mannheim), Slovenia (Galerie Rudolf / Maribor), Russia (Central House of Artists / Moscow).
In addition, the Künstlerbund Graz has developed as an art and artist sponsor and is now the only Styrian art association that supports a youth group of young artists (ages 13 to 18).
