PICASSO – BACON: What It Feels Like to Be Human | Albertina
Sep 18, 2026–Jan 31, 2027 (UTC+1)
Vienna
Exhibitions
This large-scale exhibition presents the works of two of the 20th century's most important figurative painters—Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon—through a striking juxtaposition. Deeply influenced by Picasso, Bacon aspired to be a painter. He spent his life struggling against this great mentor, ultimately striving to surpass him. In the latter half of the 20th century, Bacon aspired to play the role Picasso had played in the first half: a chronicler of all the broken faces of humanity. Both artists placed human existence at the center of their visual world. They both had a deep fascination with the human body—torn apart, reassembled, and reshaped with radical force. In their distorted depictions, they revealed pain, desire, and vulnerability, mercilessly reflecting the modern human soul. Themes such as the cross, screams, bullfights, nudity, and "Eros's Tears" revealed the dramatic nature of life for them. Although Picasso himself was not influenced by Bacon, he closely followed Bacon's artistic career. Over 100 works from international museums and private collections are presented in a striking juxtaposition, showcasing the commonalities in the works of these two masters and Picasso's significant influence on later artists.

Exhibitions
The Belvedere Art Center is presenting a comprehensive solo exhibition of the work of Austrian-American artist and art educator Erika Giovanna Klien (1900-1957). A prominent exponent of Viennese kineticism, Klien achieved international recognition early on. Her love of theater and dance informed her innovative stage designs and complex depictions of the body in motion. Klien's residency in New York City from 1929 onwards reflected her growing interest in urban space and social issues.

Jürgen Meltz is a glacier photographer who captures the silhouettes of these white giants from diverse perspectives. He creates classic landscape photographs while also revisiting historical sites where photographers took panoramic photographs a century ago. Through comparative photography, he hopes to showcase the beauty of mountains gradually disappearing due to climate change, thereby prompting reflection. Another focus of his work is documenting glacier caves. He observes glaciers up close and uses drones to explore their abstract structures and textures from the air, enriching his photographic portfolio.
