Description: HANS ERNI(Swiss, 1909-2015) Color lithograph, signed in pencil by the artist on the front lower right Erni and numbered on the lower left 40/150, matted and framed (wear to the frame, discoloration to matting and some paper foxing. Frame: 26" x 32". Hans Erni, painter and sculptor has been described as "one of the most important artists of our time," and the "Swiss Picasso." He is well known for illustrating postage stamps, activism, lithographs, and for the Swiss Red Cross. His work has grown in admiration and his awards include an Olympic Gold Medal for his sports artwork as well as the UN Peace Medal. In 2002 when Switzerland celebrated its entry into the United Nations, Erni was invited to decorate the Palais des Nations in Geneva. First apprenticed to an architectural draughtsman, Erni studied at the Ecole des Artes Metiers in Lucerne. He lived in Paris in 1928 - 29 to study at the Academie Julian, and completed his studies in Berlin in the following year. His earliest work reveals the influence of Picasso and of some of the painters of the surrealist movement including Salvador Dali. Starting with his earliest works, he exhibited a very personal style nourished by classicism and constant experimenting. Unlike most contemporary artists - Erni has never confined himself to any style of movement. Rather, he permits the subject to guide his method of working. The Hans Erni Museum in his hometown of Lucerne hosts his work.
