It has been over 25 years since the work of the idiosyncratic painter Hans Emmenegger from Central Switzerland was made accessible to a wider public. The great stylist, who was always located between Hodler and B\u00f6cklin, created a wide-ranging oeuvre, 166 works of which are presented in this exhibition catalogue - currently the only available publication. What is special about Emmenegger's landscapes and still lifes, but also individual nudes, his depictions of animals and architecture, is a certain melancholy that is conveyed in the pictures and probably corresponds to his longing for the \"marvellously desolate, lonely region\" of Central Switzerland. If you want to go a little further, you will see in the hills, the bare trees and barren snow melts, the shady forest edges with the incised sunspots precursors of contemporary realist painting by Franz Gertsch or Gerhard Richter, for example.<\/p>\n
