Useful information

The Saas Valley artist Werner Zurbriggen has perceived the people in this valley like no other and has reduced them to the essential in his own way. He combined clear forms of geometry with expressive ones and woven a fabric of beauty from them. This is also the origin of the long, miserable silhouette of the traditional Valaisan woman, which he painted again and again until the end of his life. Gifted with an extraordinary sense for decorative values and a master of composition, the artist created a figurative constructivism of unmistakable originality. On and in public buildings in Saas-Fee and outside the valley, one encounters the works of the artist with his unmistakable style. At the age of 49 on December 8th 1980, the artist was torn out of life amidst his successful work.
