Wilfrid MOSER (1914–1997) Abstract Composition, oil on canvas, signed lower right, countersigned on the back, and dated 60. 16 x 24 cm Wilfrid Moser was born on June 10, 1914, in Zurich to a father who was a sinologist and a mother who was a piano teacher. His father’s teaching assignments at foreign universities allowed the young Wilfrid to become familiar with several European cities and their cultures at a very early age. His parents’ home in Zurich was frequented by many painters, such as Otto Baumberger, Albert Pfister, and Henri Wabel. His childhood drawings, influenced by his personal and literary impressions, as well as by his travels and visits to art exhibitions, demonstrate an exceptional sense of color and poetic imagination. Some of them were published in 1930 in the magazine *Schweizer Spiegel*.
