Geneva | 14/05/2009 - 23/08/2009 Alexandre Perrier (1862-1936)

Exhibition dedicated to Swiss artist Alexandre Perrier (1862-1936). By vocation a landscape painter, Perrier dedicated his entire life to the pictorial transposition of a restricted number of settings, including the Salève, Lake Geneva and Le Grammont, while searching to accurately render the light and atmosphere of these subjects. Influenced by Neo-Impressionism, he used a technique that deconstructed his strokes into small points and lines, stylistically situating him between pointillism and divisionism. In the second half of his career, Perrier’s style evolved towards a freer method that dissociated colour and drawing, confirming the originality and modernism of the artist’s approach. His friends and acquaintances included Cuno Amiet, Albert Trachsel and Ferdinand Hodler; indeed, the latter’s paintings were exposed next to his own at the Vienna Secession of 1901 and the Exposition Universelle in Paris the previous year.
