Catalogue note:
Cuno Amiet is one of Switzerland's most well-known and important modernist artists. He studied at both the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and the Académie Julian in Paris. After discovering the works of Vincent Van Gogh, Émile Bernard, and Paul Gauguin, Amiet abandoned the traditional tone-on-tone modeling of academic art in favor of divisionism and strong blocks of color. Back in Switzerland, the artist settled in the village of Ochswand, where he became a leader in the Swiss Jugendstil movement. The painter Erich Heckel invited Amiet Cuno to participate in the short-lived but influential German Expressionist movement known as Die Brücke. Oschwand, where he lived and worked, became a rendezvous for the national and international art scene.
