The Transylvanian Museum of Ethnography, a public cultural institution that functions under the authority of the Cluj County Council, in partnership with the German Cultural Centre in Cluj-Napoca, invite you on Friday, January 26, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., to the opening of the exhibition “URSULA WENTZLAFF. TO LIVE, TO PAINT”.

“I have painted a line and a spot,” said Ursula Wentzlaff (1937 -2014), who lived and created in Germany, commenting on the principles of her art, “in fact, the whole world consists of lines and spots. From the beginning until the end. And beyond it.”

As Brigitte Ritter-Kuhn remarked in a 1990 essay, Ursula Wentzlaff's aim has always been to capture the essence of a thing. Her need to meticulously depict the world as she saw it, even in abstract, polychrome paintings and watercolors, gave rise to series of paintings related to nature, such as 27 Pflanzenbüchlein (27 plant notebooks), Urlandschaften (Primordial landscapes) and Sternenhimmel (Starry sky), but also to a series of pencil drawings, colorful portraits of personalities or oversized “heads” of the “inhabitants at the edge of the Earth”, which externalized everything that was inward.

The opening will take place in the Reduta hall of the Transylvanian Museum of Ethnography, 21, Memorandum street, and the exhibition can be visited from January 26 - February 18, 2024, from Wednesday - Sunday, from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., last entry at 5 p.m.

We look forward to welcoming you!
