Ernst Wolf
Born in 1915.
Died in 2007.
Ernst Wolf was an artist whose oeuvre is distinguished by its diversity. He worked as a painter, creating murals, stained-glass windows and mosaics. Wolf was also Heinrich Altherr’s assistant in Basel, which undoubtedly influenced his style.
His portraits evoke the vocabulary of Basel’s grey painting, while his landscapes and still lifes testify to a particular sensitivity to composition and colour. The details of his career and impact remain partly obscure, leaving room for interpretation and exploration of his artistic legacy.
