Franz Gertsch

Franz Gertsch is one of Switzerland's most outstanding contemporary artists. Throughout his career, he has produced a wide range of paintings and graphic works in which he tries to find a particular approach to reality. Although the author uses photographs or slide projections as his starting points, the paintings adhere to a logic of their own which seeks the correctness of all elements. Woodcuts also occupy a special place in Franz Gertsch's work.
