Arthur Aeschbacher, “Obliviogramm intact”, mixed media/collage from 1995 Arthur Aeschbacher, 1923 Geneva - 2020 Paris, Swiss painter and graphic artist, shown here: Abstract composition, mixed media/collage, 30 x 30 cm, signed on the reverse, dated 1995, titled, without frame About the artist: Arthur Aeschbacher initially studied at the Geneva Academy of Fine Art, before later moving to Paris. There he studied at the ‘Académie de la Grande Chaumière’ and the ‘Académie Julian’, inter alia under Fernand Léger. In the art world, he is regarded as one of the great masters of poster art (affichisme), having created an entirely new visual language from printed paper. In Paris, he worked closely with the ‘Nouveaux Réalistes’ art group, but always followed his own unique, independent artistic path. His works were exhibited at the Kunsthalle Basel (1959), the Louvre in the exhibition ‘50 Years of Collage’ (1964) and at the Centre Pompidou (1985).
