L'art de la sculpture sur bois de Val Gardena

Avant même que Val Gardena ne soit connue comme destination de vacances dans les Dolomites, la vallée de Val Gardena était déjà célèbre pour ses sculptures sur bois artistiques.

Autrefois, la vallée de Val Gardena était en grande partie coupée du monde extérieur et la population, essentiellement paysanne, passait aussi les longs hivers à sculpter au chaud dans son salon. Les revenus supplémentaires générés par la vente des sculptures étaient également les bienvenus et c'est ainsi que la tradition de la sculpture sur bois s'est transmise de génération en génération.

Histoire

Les premières mentions écrites de sculpteurs sur bois de Gröden remontent au 17ème siècle: Christian Trebinger et Melchior Vinatzer ont créé des œuvres baroques impressionnantes pour les églises de St. Christina et St. Ulrich - des croix et des statues de saints aux crèches et aux autels. Les sculptures devinrent de plus en plus populaires et la distribution de mieux en mieux organisée et vers 1850, environ la moitié de la population de Val Gardena travaillait comme sculpteur. On ne fabriquait pas seulement des œuvres sacrées, mais aussi des œuvres profanes. Les poupées articulées de Gröden, par exemple, ont été exportées jusqu'en Amérique.

Musée et expositions

Le musée Gherdëina à St. Ulrich offre un aperçu de la tradition de la sculpture sur bois de Gröden au cours des derniers siècles, de la crèche aux jouets en bois. En revanche, ceux qui s'intéressent davantage à l'état actuel de l'art de la sculpture sur bois de Val Gardena devraient faire un détour par le palais des congrès de St Ulrich: L'exposition permanente Art 52 y présente tous les jours de 9h00 à 22h00 la diversité des artistes et des artisans de Val Gardena. Il y a également le groupe UNIKA: de nombreux artistes et artisans de cette association de Val Gardena présentent chaque année leurs œuvres à la foire de la sculpture UNIKA.

Tradition et présent

Jusqu'à aujourd'hui, Val Gardena est restée, avec Laion à l'entrée de la vallée de Val Gardena, un centre de l'art de la sculpture sur bois, mais il y a aussi des sculpteurs sur bois talentueux dans d'autres régions, comme par exemple dans la Valle Aurina ou dans la Sarentino. Il existe un label de qualité spécifique de la Chambre de commerce du Tyrol du Sud pour les sculptures purement artisanales du Tyrol du Sud. Il existe en outre la marque Gardena Art, dont peuvent se prévaloir les produits fabriqués selon les critères traditionnels du travail du bois et à 100% en Val Gardena.
