Bern – Hodler
You can pretty much guarantee in Switzerland that it’ s not very often that there is no exhibition of Ferdinand Hodler’s work going on.
This summer, it’s Bern’s turn, with an exhibition at the kunstmuseum.
It runs until Sunday 10th August.
There will be over 130 of his paintings – some of which are by no means small.
The works cover his early, more traditional work, moving on to the abstract, impressionist stuff.
The Swiss view him as someone with a symbolist vision of man and nature forming one harmonious unity.
I look on him as someone that painted pictures of mountains in a sort of abstract way.
But then, I’m no art critic.
