Trenčín

Imrich Weiner-Kráľ was an iconic representative of Slovak surrealism and expressionism. He fused the contemporary art trends from around the Europe with Slovak folklore motifs and produced many bizarre, dreamlike and metaphorical works.

In this more concrete painting, he contrasts the old architecture (Trenčín Castle) with invading modern technology, represented by the steel train bridge over the River Váh. The engineer construction in the painting almost resembles a rollercoaster.
