Ferdinand Hodler’s work is reconsidered as a modern spiritual quest in this presentation.
Around fifty paintings, drawings and archival documents trace his evolution from Protestant-inspired religious scenes to Symbolist compositions. Hodler’s visual language foregrounds rhythm, the body and the natural world, seeking unity between human presence and universal form. The works employ oil painting, drawing and graphic materials to evoke contemplative states. Curated by Niklaus Manuel Güdel, the selection highlights the inner, meditative dimension of his practice.
