Colors of Snow: A Winter Examination in the Artist House
On Sunday, November 15, 2026, Dr. Heike Kronseder will guide visitors through the exhibition Colors of Snow – Winter Images from Erdinger Art Collections at the Artist House at the Steel Museum in Erding. The approximately 45-minute tour starts at 2 PM and provides an insightful access to winter-themed images from private and museum collections.
When Snow Means More Than White
The exhibition displays snowy landscapes, icy branches, sparkling ice surfaces, fog fields, and scenes with children sledding. In painting, snow appears as an atmospheric design element: it reflects sunlight, captures the colors of the sky, and transforms into bluish, silvery, golden, gray, or violet nuances depending on the light.
Between Romanticism, Memory, and Reality
The presented winter images oscillate between romantic landscape views and everyday observations. Untouched snowfields and snow-covered paths evoke notions of silence, calm, and nostalgia, while winter play and sledding reveal the cheerful side of the cold season. Historical snow images can also be seen as contemporary snapshots of a changing environment.
Art Historical Knowledge Conveyed Vividly
Dr. Heike Kronseder explains selected paintings, discusses the particular challenges of snow painting, and presents curious details such as the so-called Holy Schius. The tour combines art historical context with specific artwork examination and cultural education. Thus, the exhibition atmosphere invites visitors to perceive color, light, material effects, and spatial ambiance with new eyes.
Art Experience in the Artist House at the Steel Museum
The exhibition combines works from Erdinger private ownership and museum collections. A painting by Franz Xaver Stahl from around 1924 exemplifies the winter subject matter of the exhibition. The tour provides an opportunity to learn about the regional collection context and engage deeply with the aesthetic experience of snow, ice, and winter light.
Conclusion: Experience Winter Images Up Close
The tour through Colors of Snow promises a focused art experience with expert explanations, atmospheric image motifs, and surprising insights into the art of snow painting. Those wishing to discover painting, regional art history, and the quiet poetic power of winter landscapes should experience this event live at the Artist House at the Steel Museum.
