During my winter holidays, I went to one of the best art exhibitions I have ever been to, which displayed many works of art by the artist Hans Erni as well as some works of Picasso, Van Gogh and many others. Hans Erni was born in Lucern, the 21st of February 1909, and he is a painter, a drawer and a sculptor. Two of his paintings captured my attention the most: the first one, le Corégone, shows a dead and very realistic trout which is lying on an unfolded and used napkin, surrounded by sentences which form a very unusual although very artistic pattern. I think that those sentences, which look infinite and neverending on the painting, represent a story, a story which cannot be read by anyone because it cannot necessarily be understood and well-interpreteted by the person who looks at the painting itself. The second one, is called l'Arbre de la Connaissance (the Tree of Knowledge), it has been painted on a material known as 'pavatex' and is approximately 150 x 205 cm. The painting shows a tree with many branches holding particles of atoms, probably symbolizing the passage from one generation to another.
In the garden next to the museum, there were many sculptures too, such as:
- Stabile-Mobile (Alexander Calder 1898- 1976)
- Refining (Henry Moore, 1992, Bronze)
-Le Grand Dialogue, Bronze, 1964- 1971 ( Alicia Penalba 1913- 1982)
and many other interesting, original, detailed and unusual sculptures.
