Title:Völser Weiher

Object name:tableau

Collection:Provincial Council of South Tyrol

In accordance with the resolution of the Council of the Autonomous Province of South Tyrol of 19 December 1979, No. 12, Art. 19 (Inventories), 106 works of art were transferred from the ownership of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol to the ownership of the South Tyrolean Provincial Council in autumn 2005 as part of the movable property. The three frescoes by Karl Plattner (‘South Tyrol’), Siegfried Pörnbacher (‘The Harvest’) and Peter Fellin (‘Bridge between North and South’), which are attached to the provincial council building and are therefore immovable, have remained the property of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-Alto Adige as ‘art in architecture’.

Hist. crit. notes:After the end of World War I, Hubert Mumelter (1896 - 1981) was still undecided as to whether he should become a painter or a poet. Although he was one of the most widely read authors in South Tyrol at the time, he nevertheless continued to paint. In his novels, poems as well as his paintings, Mumelter's works are largely set in South Tyrol, with the landscape as the main subject. Often critical of Mumelter's writings, poet Norbert C. Kaser commented:"fast immer ist es Herbst" (It's almost always autumn). Indeed, the dominant rusty colour hues in two of his paintings in the Bolzano Provincial Council building would seem to support this. A third painting, however, shows reflections on water, and a fourth (signed only HM) depicts a homestead and a family home in a winter landscape.
