REGARDS SUISSES

This small selection of paintings by Swiss artists, spanning from the mid-19th to the third part of the 20th century, originates in admiration and gratitude not only for the way these singular artists “looked” at their world with loving care but also for the remarkable skill with which they transmitted their “look” and put it on canvas. While these artists were influenced by both, artistic developments and political upheavals of their time, their paintings seem deeply rooted in a conviction that the pursuit of “beauty” is still legitimate and meaningful. The concentration with which they painted what they “saw” seems to reflect a profound attachment to this idea and their determination to make it visible. The hope is that were the visitors’ and the painters’ “looks” to meet, the visitors may take away for themselves, for however short a moment, something of the painters’ unique ways of “looking”.
