Academician Dr. France Stele: "let it not be destroyed" a seemingly insignificant note and souvenir in my legacy.«
Professor Dr. France Stele was born on the 21st. 2. 1886 in Tunjice near Kamnik. After graduating from Gymnasium in Kranj, he went as a military volunteer to Lviv and Vienna, where he studied art history at the university. From lower secondary school onwards, he collected letters and letters sent to him by friends and acquaintances, and later by colleagues, writers, artists and experts from all over the world. More than 12,000 letters with almost 2,300 different correspondents have been preserved , which makes this archive one of the major correspondence collections held by the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the national and university libraries. The letters and letters that Stele received from 1901 until his death in 1972 extend in content to various cultural, social, scientific and personal fields, with the fact that it is often not possible to draw a sharp dividing line. From the surviving letters, one can understand how contemporaries experienced Stelet as a man and an expert. The lecturer, Dr. Vesna Krmelj, will focus on Stelet's epistolary as a whole in this lecture, on the one hand, on letters from his youthful correspondence and on those sent to him by his Kamnik countrymen.
Dr. Vesna Krmelj, born in 1967 in Ljubljana, has been working since 2018 at the France Stelet Institute of art history of the Scientific Research Centre SAZU, where she edited, among other things, the correspondence archive of dr. France Stelet. She also researched and interpreted it in her doctoral dissertation. He is mainly devoted to modern art and the Slovenian cultural history of the twentieth century and the history of art history.
The lecture takes place as part of the research programme Art in Slovenia at the intersection of cultures, code: P6-0061, which is funded by Aris funds.
You are kindly invited.
Akademik dr. France Stele: »Naj se ne uniči »na videz še tako nepomemben zapisek in spominek v moji zapuščini.«
Profesor dr. France Stele se je rodil 21. 2. 1886 v Tunjicah pri Kamniku. Po končani gimnaziji v Kranju je odšel kot vojaški prostovoljec v Lvov in na Dunaj, kjer je na univerzi študiral umetnostno zgodovino. Od nižje gimnazije dalje je zbiral pisma in dopise, ki so mu jih pošiljali prijatelji in znanci, kasneje pa tudi sodelavci, pisatelji, umetniki ter strokovnjaki z vsega sveta. Ohranjenih je več kot 12.000 pisem s skoraj 2.300 različnimi korespondenti , zaradi česar ta arhiv sodi med večje korespondenčne zbirke, ki jih hranita Slovenska akademija znanosti in umetnosti ter Narodna in univerzitetna knjižnica. Pisma in dopisi, ki jih je Stele prejemal od leta 1901 vse do svoje smrti leta 1972, po vsebini segajo na različna kulturna, družbena, znanstvena in osebna področja, pri čemer pogosto ni mogoče postaviti ostre ločnice. Iz ohranjenih pisem lahko razberemo, kako so sodobniki doživljali Steleta kot človeka in strokovnjaka. Predavateljica, dr. Vesna Krmelj, se bo v tokratnem predavanju po eni strani osredotočila na Steletov epistolarij kot celoto, po drugi pa na pisma iz njegove mladostne korespondence ter na tista, ki so mu jih pošiljali njegovi kamniški rojaki.
Dr. Vesna Krmelj, rojena leta 1967 v Ljubljani, je od leta 2018 zaposlena na Umetnostnozgodovinskem inštitutu Franceta Steleta Znanstvenoraziskovalnega centra SAZU, kjer je med drugim uredila korespondenčni arhiv dr. Franceta Steleta. Raziskala in interpretirala ga je tudi v doktorski disertaciji. Posveča se predvsem moderni umetnosti in slovenski kulturni zgodovini dvajsetega stoletja ter zgodovini umetnostne zgodovine.
Predavanje poteka v sklopu raziskovalnega programa Umetnost na Slovenskem v stičišču kultur, šifra: P6-0061, ki je financiran iz sredstev ARIS.
Vljudno vabljeni.
