Switzerland
Leo Brunschwiler was a Swiss painter and stone sculptor.
Brunschwiler trained as a stone sculptor in Küssnacht and attended the Basel School of Applied Arts in Olten. In 1945, he began working as a master sculptor of sculpted tombstones, striving to give this craft the status of high art. Brunschwiler became a member of the Association of Swiss Master Sculptors and Stonemasons and for decades presented his work to a competent jury in specialized competitions. He also published his work in the association's journal Kunst und Stein ("Art and Stone"). These efforts were not in vain, and by the end of his life the sculptor was internationally recognized.
Leo Brunschwiler also created altars for churches and fountains in public places.
