BISSIER
Julius
Julius Bissier was a German painter born in 1893 in Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany) and died in 1965 in Ascona in the Ticino (Switzerland). He attended the School of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe. In 1927, the meeting with the sinologist Ernst Grosse proves decisive for his work. It develops an abstract calligraphic style. He teaches at Freiburg from 1930 to 1933. Constantin Brancusi he discovered on a trip to Paris. He founded in 1949 the Zen group. His work, copy of abstraction from 1950-1960, a time when abstract painting triumph, may be linked to the current gestural painting contemplative nature, particularly illustrated by Mark Rothko, and Mark Tobey Bissier which was a friend to end of his life. He began in 1956 to paint in tempera of "miniature" delicate colors: abstract signs on pieces of canvas. He exhibited in major museums in Europe and America, the Venice Biennale (1958-1960), at the Documenta in Kassel (1959 and 1964). In 1961, he settled in Ascona.
