We celebrate 130. birth anniversary of Vena Pilon
This year we are celebrating 130. the anniversary of the birth of Vena Pilon (Ajdovska, 22. september 1896-23. september 1970), one of the most important and outstanding creators of Slovenian Fine Art 20. century.
Pilon is considered the Central representative of Slovenian expressionism and the new reality, which with its ingenious visual language has forever marked our space.

Praznujemo 130. obletnico rojstva Vena Pilona
V letošnjem septembru obeležujemo že 130. obletnico rojstva Vena Pilona (Ajdovščina, 22. september 1896–23. september 1970) , enega najpomembnejših in najodmevnejših ustvarjalcev slovenske likovne umetnosti 20. stoletja.
Pilon velja za osrednjega predstavnika slovenskega ekspresionizma in nove stvarnosti, ki je s svojim genialnim vizualnim jezikom za vselej zaznamoval naš prostor. Njegove mojstrovine iz dvajsetih let prejšnjega stoletja predstavljajo estetski vrhunec domačega slikarstva, med katerimi izstopajo portreti in podobe Vipavske doline. Kot vsestranski vizionar se je uveljavil tudi v Parizu, takratni prestolnici svetovne umetnosti, kjer je razvil odličen fotografski opus in dosegel odmevne mednarodne uspehe. Njegova neprecenljiva zapuščina, ki jo hranimo v Ajdovščini, ostaja dragocen kulturni zaklad naše regije in velik navdih za vse generacije ljubiteljev umetnosti.
Ob tem velikem jubileju vas v torek, 22. septembra, ob 17. uri vljudno vabimo na javno vodstvo po stalni zbirki Vena Pilona , po kateri vas bo popeljala Tina Ponebšek , direktorica Pilonove galerije. Prijave niso potrebne. Vodstvo je vključeno v ceno vstopnice.
