Nikolaj Pirnat - Portrait of Nande Vidmar/ online express guided tour
Friday, 5 February 2021, 11:00
guided by: Simona Vidmar, UGM curator
Join us in the week of celebration culture, when I will be counting down to Prešeren's Day with short live guides on social platforms. We will take you through paintings, drawings, graphics, statues and other works of art that adorn the Maribor Art Gallery. Every day we will present one artist from the exhibition 100+. The virtual cultural gathering will end with a variety of virtual events on Prešeren Day.
Nikolaj Pirnat portrayed his classmate Nande Vidmar when they studied together at the Zagreb Academy. Both were later interned in an Italian camp and both joined the partisans, but their life stories are very different. We will find out what lies behind the striking image of the young painter.
