SOUTTER (Louis). - Lot 255

SOUTTER (Louis). Catalog published on the occasion of the major exhibition organized by the Pierre Gianadda Foundation in Martigny in 1990. The book is dedicated to Louis Soutter (1871–1942), a major figure in 20th-century Swiss art, rediscovered thanks to Jean Dubuffet and often associated with the creators of art brut. A visionary draftsman, musician, and architect by training, Soutter developed a deeply personal body of work in the final years of his life, consisting of hallucinatory silhouettes, black figures, and compositions of exceptional expressive intensity. This catalog brings together a significant collection of reproductions and remains one of the definitive references on the artist. Artist: SOUTTER (Louis). Exhibition: Fondation Pierre Gianadda, Martigny, 1990. Catalog: André Kuenzi and Annette Ferrari. Illustrations: numerous color and black-and-white reproductions. Binding: illustrated paperback.
