Unbiased. Authentic. A remarkable gateway.
Richard Wagner: 10 magnificent operas. NMA: 10 impressive, congenial paintings. The visual essence of the intertwining of the works.
In addition, three other paintings interpreting earlier works. One painting of the composer. A comprehensive collection of Wagner's legacy of operas.
Amongst them the giant that is “Ring der Nibelungen”. Four operas, four challenges, four creations: water, fire, earth, air on canvas.
The paintings - formation of a cycle.
Music, libretto and Wagner's life. The paintings are profound. Grabbing the observer. A psychological effect at first:
But the longer the effect lasts, the more worlds are exposed to the observer. Intensively thought through. Ingeniously constructed. Full of tension.
