Mostly about museums, mainly in Switzerland
I first came across Hermann Scherer in the Expressionismus Schweiz exhibition at the Kunstmuseum in Winterthur. There is something about his bold style that draws me in. The vibrant colours of his paintings, but more so the wood sculptures. I was excited to learn that there would be an exhibition focusing on his sculptures and woodblock prints at the Kunstmuseum in Basel.
I was really looking forward to visiting this exhibition at the Kunstmuseum in Basel. It is the most comprehensive presentation of her life and career to date and the first to show the sheer volume and diversity of her work. But firstly, who is she?
Along with Albert Einstein, Paul Klee is one of Bern’s most famous residents. Bern has a museum dedicated to his work known as the Zentrum Paul Klee, situated in an impressive building designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano.
