Biografia dell'artista:

Fernand Dubuis (1908 - 1991), nato in Svizzera nel 1908, l'artista trascorse la maggior parte della sua carriera in Francia, dove passò dalla figurazione all'astrazione e divenne estraneo al disegno, che padroneggiava perfettamente, per dedicarsi al colore. Fernand Dubuis' artistic career began at the Ecole Cantonale de dessin et d'art in Lausanne, which he visited for a few months in 1928-29. Having moved to Paris, he continued his education in several free academies in Montparnasse. Delighted by fifteenth-century painting, the artist toured Italy from 1934 to 1937. While remaining independent, he worked with all the great names of twentieth-century French painting, from Deyrolle to Nicolas de Staël, passing through Bazaine, Bissière and Vasarely ; he also collaborated with various writers such as Jean Tardieu and André Frénaud. A leading figure of 20th century abstract painting, deeply linked to the history of painting, Dubuis sought throughout his career to create a body of work that embraced the trends of his time, while incorporating references from the past, particularly through a particular attention to the fine craftsmanship of his work. In his early years he had a similar admiration for his contemporaries Fernand Léger and Roger de La Fresnaye and for the old masters, especially Caravaggio and Francisco de Zurbarán. His painting then resembled the "baroque" expressiveness and colorful post-cubism of André Lhote.
