Three Perspectives, Three Biographies, a Dialogue Across Borders

This vernissage promises an intense art experience: Under the main motif Three Artists – Three Generations – Three Countries, independent positions meet. In Wessling, an exhibition atmosphere unfolds where the contemplation of works, light guidance, and spatial effects open a lively dialogue between painting, graphics, and narrative imagery.

Form, Color, Bauhaus Echo: Cornelia Rhomberg

Rhomberg, trained as an artist and architect, develops strictly composed yet sensually vibrating pictorial spaces from geometric color fields. Her compositions reference constructive traditions of modernity and a Bauhaus heritage in the family; clear lines, modulated areas, and precise curation create a concentrated aesthetic experience. The contemplation of her works makes color layers, edges, and the relationship of figure and ground audible as a visual score. Source confirms her Bauhaus tradition and working method.

Painter, Sailor, Storyteller: Peter Stephan

The painter and graphic artist Peter Stephan (1927–2014), born in Dessau, combines socio-poetic objectivity with biographical breadth: studies at the Academy in Munich, mastery of engraving, travels as a seaman – all of this shapes his narrative images. In melancholic strokes and concentrated formal language, stories of simple life, topographical memories of Southern Europe, and a humanistic stance are condensed. This art direction firmly stands on the ground of classical genres of painting and printmaking and convinces through compositional clarity, spatial depth, and material awareness.

Lost Threads, New Connections: Heinrich Stephan

Heinrich Stephan represents – historically located – a generation between wartime and postwar period, whose works left traces in regional contexts and collections. In his paintings, biographical breaks, a sensitive color economy, and the search for pictorial attitudes that mediate between tradition and modernity resonate. The contemplation of his works shows finely balanced tonal values, a dialogical relationship between contour and surface, and a quiet pictorial rhythm that transforms contemporary history into form.

Curation and Mediation

The exhibition unfolds – intergenerationally – a panorama of European pictorial languages: constructive color field painting, narrative objectivity, historically sensitized painting. The curation focuses on sight axes, calm hangings, and light zones that make the materiality of canvas, paper, and printing plate visible. Accompanying discussions and contemplation of works before originals are expected; information about tours and museum educational offerings will follow.

Conclusion

Anyone wishing to experience art-historical depth of field, clear forms, and narrative painting in one space should not miss this vernissage. Three handwriting styles, three temperaments, three cultural horizons – a concentrated art experience at Lake Ammersee. Come, let the colors, forms, and stories resonate with you.
