Franz Steinfeld gilt als Begründer einer neuen, biedermeierlichen Landschaftsdarstellung in Österreich. Die Gegend, die er über die Jahrzehnte bereiste und in seinen Gemälden bevorzugt zur Anschauung brachte, war das Salzkammergut. Seit ca. 1820 war diese Region der sommerliche Treffpunkt für eine Vielzahl von Künstlern, hier vor allem entstand der Landschaftstypus der österreichischen Biedermeiermalerei. Als langjähriger Professor für Landschaftsmalerei an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien hat er eine Vielzahl von Schülern geprägt und auch auf diese Weise in die Zukunft gewirkt. 

Die Ausstellung hat sich, ausgehend von seinen Gemälden in der Sammlung der Neuen Galerie Graz, zum Ziel gesetzt, erstmals einen Überblick über das Lebenswerk von Franz Steinfeld zu geben.  

Zurück in die Gegenwart führt ein aktueller Gemäldezyklus von Hubert Schmalix (geb. 1952): Er reflektiert die Landschaftsdarstellung quer durch die künstlerischen Medien.

Episode One: “In the Beginning”

The latest MoMA podcast begins on June 16, 1960, when George Wein and the Storyville Sextet played the first jazz concert in MoMA’s Sculpture Garden—and launched more than a decade of legendary performances and recordings from some of the leading lights of jazz, including Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, and Sonny Rollins. In this episode, you’ll hear about the first era of jazz at MoMA from some of the musicians who were there.

The Universalmuseum Joanneum is considered the biggest of its kind in Central Europe. About 4,5 million items in the collections form the basis of a richly faceted ‘universal’ exhibition and events schedule. 

Founded as Austria’s first public museum in 1811, the Universalmuseum Joanneum presents a broad range of art, culture and the natural sciences at twelve architecturally valuable locations.
