Jan Oeltjen, Voyage Years, 1904−1930
Voyage Years, 1904–1930 present for the first time the ‘German’ part of Jan Oeltjen’s artwork and puts on show 70 aquarelles and oil paintings unknown to the Slovene audience. The exhibition catalogue offers the reader an intimate insight into the exciting life story of the artist. Painter Jan Oeltjen (1880 – 1968), married to the Slovene artist Elsa of the famous Kazimir family, had two homelands, Germany and Slovenia. At first he worked under the influence of Symbolism and particularly the painter Jans von Marées, later he was driven into Expressionism. His acquaintance with Oskar Kokoschka above all left an evident influence on his artwork.
