Galerie Exner: Walter Schmögner – for his 65. Birthday: Als die Stifte brannten (When the pencils were on fire) Vivat and Ambrosia! How does one honour a painter? How does one honour someone who has just turned 65 and would be retiring if he weren’t a painter? What allows painters to assert the claim never to be pensioned? A painter is distinguished by his unique and unmistakable art. Essentially paintings are peaceful; and it takes peaceful surroundings to encounter them. Paintings reflect the possibilities of presentation - from the techniques and materials used combined with the setting shown. Gallery Exner organized a remarkable exhibit to honour Walter Schmögner’s 65th birthday. 50 of his works are displayed – all documenting his individual, well thought out, and unconventional works, all showing commitment to desire, doubt, and humour. The history of art is long and lucid; over and over it delights in being surprised by a painter’s devotion to painting. Long live Walter Schmögner! Galerie Exner 1010 Vienna, Rauhensteingasse 12, until 22.06.2008 www.galerie-exner.at
