Rootage
The renowned artist museum “Werner Berg Galerie der Stadt Bleiburg” was founded in 1968 in Lower Carinthia and has developed into a respectable small museum with high standards. Werner Berg, born 1904 in Germany, moved to the Rutarhof, a mountain farm, in 1931, where he worked as a farmer and painter until 1981, the year he died.
Werner Berg had exceptionally close ties to the landscape and the inhabitants of the region. He transposes this rootage into his work with great artistic intensity. This depicted concentration of landscapes and people in Southern Carinthia was created without any of the usual pathos or strained nationhood.
Photos, films, original documents, and press clippings accompany the exhibit and offer a complete picture of the artist as well as the museum.
