Carlos Schwabe (1866–1926) is presented through a selection of paintings, drawings and prints that illuminate his symbolist vocabulary. His allegorical compositions and mythic figures deploy a somber palette and precise draughtsmanship to probe themes of spirituality, mortality and nature’s rites. Oil paintings, watercolours and printmaking techniques reveal his interest in narrative and mystical symbolism. Curators Marie-Ève Celio and Milan Garcin frame the works to highlight Schwabe’s poetic visual language and its reflection on inner experience and collective myth.
