Hodler

Ferdinand Hodler in the Zurich Kunsthaus


Ferdinand Hodler:  a magnificent artist, not as well known as he should be.  Here is what Wikipedia says:

"Ferdinand Hodler (1853 - 1918) was one of the best-known Swiss painters of the nineteenth century.  His early works were portraits, landscapes, and genre paintings in a realistic style.  Later, he adopted a personal form of symbolism which he called 'parallelism.'"

We have now reached the end of Netherlands-Zurich trip of October 2019.

There is an abrupt jump to the beginning of June-July 2019 trip to Germany-Zurich-Bologna, starting with the famous teaching garden Weihenstephan in Freising north of Munich.
