Swiss Design - starring Hans Erni


'Connecting Thoughts 1993'



'Dove and Pegasus 2005'


Commemorating his 100th birthday next February 21, 2009, we can safely say that he is one of the greatest artist, Switzerland has ever seen (and almost forgotten). Still alive and active as usual, he produces paintings that may lead some layman like me to remember MC Escher, Picasso or Paul Klee. He combines geometric, strict forms with artful colors and soft lines.
His works reflect art and politics, and have been internationally acclaimed. Some appeared on post stamps, or some supported the Red Cross, or have been related to the UN. 20 years ago, a museum dedicated to him opened as part of the 'Verkehrshaus' (Transportation Museum) in Lucerne, his hometown in Switzerland.
