Hermann Scherer

Hermann Scherer was a Swiss expressionist painter, sculptor, and printmaker. He is considered one of the most important expressionists in Switzerland.

Familiarity with new movements in art prompts the young sculptor to take up painting at the same time. Scherer switches from stone carving to painting and creates an impressive series of brightly colored works in keeping with German Expressionist trends. Inspired by the paintings of Edvard Munch, but above all by his collaboration with Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Scherer developed an expressive formal language and painted in strong, vivid colors. The themes of his paintings speak of inner conflicts, love and passion, fear and loneliness. In addition to paintings, Scherer created many woodcuts.

In the mid-1920s, together with Paul Kamenisch and Albert Müller, Scherer founded the Rot-Blau group, which made a major contribution to Swiss expressionism.
