Frank Buchser (1828 - 1890)

Frank Buchser

Frank Buchser was a Swiss painter. He is noted for his portraits of notable American figures of the post civil war period and for his works with Oriental themes.

His oeuvre comprises about 1000 works in oil, including about 300 full paintings. The remainder are mostly independent sketches, often executed with spiritedly rapid strokes, which show the artist's pronounced sense of color and light. The most important collection of his works are in the Kunstmuseum Solothurn (80 paintings) and the Kunstmuseum Basel (over 1000 oil sketches, drawings and watercolors and sketchbooks).
