Artist portrait

1947–2008
Gruyère, Switzerland

The hermit painter of Gruyère: a body of work that stayed away from the major circuits and was never exhibited outside Switzerland before the Strasbourg exhibition, where thirty works were brought together with notebooks, studies and archives. An artist who chose to live and work on the margins of the art world.
