Amanda Tröndle-Engel und Oskar Tröndle

40 years after the last exhibition on Oskar Tröndle (1883-1945) at the Solothurn Art Museum, Amanda Tröndle-Engel (1862-1956) is now also being brought into the limelight. Her name is known in Solothurn primarily in connection with her "Moli", the painting school, while her art has until now led a shadowy existence. Wrongly so: the exhibition highlights the partnership between the two artistic personalities and shows for the first time the stylistically diverse work of the painter and draughtswoman, who trained in Basel, Paris and Munich, in dialog with the oeuvre of Oskar Tröndle, which moves between Art Nouveau and Modernism. Both strove to "empathetically absorb all the beauty of the world" and translate it into art. For the artist couple, artistic creation, aesthetic everyday design, teaching and lifestyle went hand in hand. In Solothurn, they created a productive, creative environment with a special aura.
