FilterFranz Anatol Wyss
Franz Anatol Wyss was born in Fulenbach in the canton of Solothurn in 1940. After an apprenticeship as a painter and decorator, he attended the Kunstgewerbeschule [School of Arts and Crafts] in Lucerne from 1960 to 1961, and from 1965 to 1966 he took etching lessons with Bruno Stamm at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich. This led Wyss, who was working as a painter and decorator, to the field of print graphics and the pivotal decision to become an artist. He enjoyed success early on. Wyss returned to his home town in 1975. In 1976, he began his collaboration with Zurich copperplate printer Peter Kneubühler. Alongside drawing, print graphics became the artist’s primary medium. He created his first acrylic paintings in 1985, followed by linocuts and lithographs in 1993 and 1994. Wyss’s constant exploration of the relationship between man, nature and technology is often condensed into thematic portfolio works.
