Cuno Amiet1868 Solothurn – 1961 Oschwand

The snowy landscape was one of Amiet's favourite subjects; in the first months of 1907 alone, he produced six paintings on the Oschwand (today in the museums of Aarau and Solothurn, among others). He painted a similar composition as early as 1895 (George Mauner: Cuno Amiet (Zurich 1984), plate 10). The hamlet of Winistorf is depicted, about eight kilometres west of the Oschwand.In: Kunsthaus Zürich.

Provenance

The digitisation of the inventory of the Kunsthaus is an ongoing work in progress.
