V tržaški Galeriji Škorpijon, znani po sodobno usmerjenem razstavnem programu, ki je delovala pod vodstvom Fride de Tuoni med letoma 1946 in 1952, so poleg italijanskih in tujih umetnikov pogosto razstavljali tudi Tržačani Jože Cesar, Avgust Černigoj, Bogdan Grom Robert Hlavaty, Avrelij Lukežič, Rudolf Saksida in Lojze Spacal ter drugi slovenski slikarji z območja celinske Slovenije. Sodelovanje med njimi in Galerijo Škorpijon je podpiral Pododsek za likovno umetnost Slovensko-hrvaške prosvetne zveze, katerega naloga je bila promoviranje slovenske kulture na območju takratnega Svobodnega tržaškega ozemlja tudi z namenom dokazovanja, da na območju, ki je bilo predmet nerazrešenega mejnega problema, živijo (in se kulturno udejstvujejo) Slovenci. O razstavah, prirejenih v Galeriji Škorpijon, so v obdobju, v katerem je bila galerija povezana s Slovensko-hrvaško prosvetno zvezo, množično poročali v najrazličnejših tržaških medijih. Trieste’s Scorpion Gallery was renowned for its exhibition programme, orientated towards contemporary art. It was directed by Frida de Tuoni throughout its period of activity that lasted from 1946 to 1952. Jože Cesar, Avgust Černigoj, Bogdan Grom, Robert Hlavaty, Avrelij Lukežič, Rudolf Saksida and Lojze Spacal were Slovenian artists originating from the Trieste area that regularly exhibited at the Scorpion Gallery. Apart from them, authors from continental Slovenia as well as Italians and foreign artists were also regularly represented there by their exhibited works. The collaboration of the gallery and these Slovenian artists was made possible by The Slovene-Croatian Educational and Cultural Association’s Subsection for the Fine Arts. The Subsection’s task was to promote Slovenian culture in the area of the Free Territory of Trieste in order to prove that this area of unsolved territorial issues was inhabited by Slovenians and that they were also culturally active. Various media from the Trieste area substantially reported on the exhibitions that were held at the Scorpion Gallery during the period of the gallery’s collaboration with The Slovene-Croatian Educational and Cultural Association. |
