Hans Erni is one of Switzerland's best known
and best loved Swiss modern artists. His work
spans the media of painting, sculpture, ceramic,
and tapestries, but he is perhaps best known
for his beautiful color prints and lithographs.
Throughout his life, Erni has remained a great
admirer of Picasso and his use of line and classical
images recall the spirit of Picasso's early
work.
The Hans Erni Museum in his native Lucern
is dedicated to his work.
Erni is listed in major art references including
the Grove Dictionary of Art and the Benezit.
