Rudolf Hurni (1914-2003)

As a young boy already, Hurni wanted to paint posters and later on trained to be a graphic artist.  Early on in his career he began to transition to painting still lives, interiors and townscapes in oil.  As a 50 year old, he was inspired through an encounter with painter Girgio Morandi and concentrated on still lives in a more and more abstract vein, showing the interplay of color and form.

Shortly before his 70th birthday, Hurni, surprisingly, switched his style to Constructivism.  His work from then on consists of geometric forms and compositions.

Rudolf Hurni was born on September 20, 1914 as the second-youngest of eleven children.  His father worked as a drawing specialist at a firm that was specialised in building bridges.

When he was four years old, his mother died.

After high school, he entered an apprenticeship at a lettering company, which he successfully concluded after three years.
