national gallery of art印象

I enjoied this gallery, most of the paints are "modern" of the Stalin period, very colourful and most of them are really huge. Very nice!

The National Arts Gallery is ideally located a few minutes’ walk south of Skanderbeg Square, on Bulevardi Deshmoret e Kombit. We were told that “the gallery has 4,000 works of art by Albanian and foreign authors, spanning seven centuries of Albanian cultural heritage,” but our aim was more modest.After visiting a small Museum of Communism in Prauge in 2009 we were intrigued by the prospect of viewing a Social Realizm exhibit in Tirana.The pavilion of Social Realizm in the gallery contains paintings devoted to this subject. These paintings were used as a propaganda tool of the Albanian dictatorship to idealize the positive aspects of the regime. Paintings depict workers, villagers, teens and children all happy, doing their daily chores, working the land and factories. I was impressed with a stone statue in the center of a young woman, hair blowing in the wind, hand raised in the air holding a harvesting equipment. Also impressive were pictures of muscular men holding working tools in one hand and military weapons in the other, ready to defend the “mother-land”. To non-communists this is an obvious case of “brain-washing”.

This museum will leave you wanting to learn more. The paintings from Socialist Realism are just amazing. You can feel the spirit of the time walking through this Art Gallery.

The Gallery is a big impressive Communist building and seems to only have a small art collection. I have been three times in three months. However, I found the works interesting especially the communist era. Downstairs is a gallery that has changing artists shows.

There was a really good section on Social Realism but the contemporary art selection was disappointing. Good value at 200 Lek. This is a good place to start a walk down Rruga Murat Toptaki.

I was totally awestruck when walking around this museum. The collection of Socialist Realism paintings is one of the best I've ever seen and includes several pieces that were blacklisted under the former regime. The space is open and light, and the sensitive hanging allows you to enjoy the large pieces from a reasonable distance so that the sheer scale of these paintings can be appreciated. Well worth a visit if in Tirana.

The propaganda art was quite interesting. I wish there had been a gift shop selling postcards of the works on display, since photography is not permitted.

National Gallery of Figurative Arts is one of the best albanian attractions on offer. I have been there many times alone or with a couple of friends and the quality of the art shown down stairs and upstairs is excellent. I agree with many visitors opinions that the Communist Art is the best they have.If you really want to understant the history of this country, visit the Gallery of Arts to have a crash course history lesson in less then 2 hours.

There is not a more appropriate institution to present Albania's recent and modern history during communism

If you like socialist realism, this is the place to go. If you do not like socialist realism go there anyway! Some of it is in fact good, and you will also see paintings that caused the painter to be criminalized. They were preparing a section with icons, but in March 2014 we could not see it.
