Camille Graeser is one of the great concrete artists from Zurich. But how did the furniture maker and designer with his own studio in Stuttgart come to create concrete, constructivist painting? Graeser’s talent as a painter accompanied him from the beginning and gained importance after his flight to Switzerland in 1933. This essay volume describes the period of upheaval in his biography as well as his artistic reorientation in Zurich and illustrates this with extensive source and archive material.
