Oskar Zwintscher (1870-1916) is an internationally undiscovered protagonist of the Fin de Siècle. Since the 1890s, he has created fascinating works of symbolic painting: allegorically charged figures, suggestive landscapes and delicately portraits. The Albertinum presents more than 100 paintings and sculptures by Oskar Zwintscher and 40 other artists of his time – including Arnold Böcklin, Gustav Klimt, Ferdinand Hodler, Franz von Stuck and Paula Modersohn-Becker.
