The exhibition, curated by Andreja Borin, presents a selection of works by one of Maribor's most important artists of the first half of the 20th century. You will see expressive prints, paintings in the spirit of the new reality, exceptional portraits and masterful watercolours from the collection of the Maribor Art Gallery.
The Maribor Art Gallery is once again collaborating with Galerija Rika Debenjaka that is situated in Kanal ob Soči. After the successful exhibition titled Ante Trstenjak from the UGM Collection in 2023, the cooperation continues with the presentation of Maribor artist Ivan Kos.
Ivan Kos (1895-1981) was one of the most important artists in Maribor in the 1920s and 1930s. The art gallery holds around 150 of his works: paintings, drawings, watercolours and prints. The exhibition presents a selection of the most representative works from the artist's rich oeuvre: expressive prints from the time of his studies at the Prague Academy, excellent paintings in the spirit of the new reality, a remarkable portrait series of beggars from the early 1930s, and masterful watercolours.
