Alfred Manessier

Born in 1911.

Died in 1993.

Alfred Manessier is recognised as one of the pioneers of non-figurative painting in France and a prominent member of the Nouvelle École de Paris. As a stained-glass artist, he distinguished himself through the creation of the first non-figurative stained-glass window for a sacred building in the twentieth century. His contribution to stained glass in Switzerland is notable, with nearly ninety works created between 1952 and 1990, testifying to his commitment to this form of artistic expression.
