An Evening for Art: Ernst Rappel in Focus

An informative lecture with a reading atmosphere: Art historian Hedwig Amann M. A. introduces the life, work, and style of the Traunstein painter and sculptor Ernst Rappel. Visitors experience a literary event of art communication, a precise author encounter with an artist who has iconically shaped the Chiemgau region.

Biographical Threads and Artistic Signature

Ernst Rappel, born in 1922 in Traunstein, studied in Munich and over decades shaped an unmistakable artistic language through sgraffito, mosaic, ceramics, and bronze. His narratives on building facades, fountains, and sacred spaces connect craftsmanship, regional history, and rich symbolism.

Works in Urban Space: Rupertus Fountain and More

Rappel's works shape the urban texture of the Chiemgau. Particularly, the Rupertus Fountain at Traunstein’s Maxplatz exemplifies his powerful iconography, making local history visible and shaping collective memory.

Context, Style, Discourse

Hedwig Amann places Rappel in an art historical context: genre, style, and material aesthetics are unfolded through concrete examples. This creates a deeper understanding of the literary quality of his image programs, exploring the intersections of faith, history, and everyday myth.

Reading Atmosphere in the Heimathaus

The intimate Zieglerwirts room provides the suitable setting: proximity to city history, concentrated attention, and an artistic dialogue of voice, language, and observation.

Conclusion

A profound, sensibly conveyed art experience is expected. Those who see Rappel’s works will better understand their deeper dimensions after this evening. Experience it live and sharpen your perspective on art in public spaces.
