Johannes Blatter
Born in 1895.
Died in 1975.
Johannes Blatter was an artist whose work was rooted in the tradition of the Toggenburg Senntummaler, while he was also a farmer. His artistic production dates primarily from 1915 to 1926, a period during which he created works devoted to alpfahrtsbilder, depicting scenes of transhumance. After an interruption, he resumed painting in the 1950s, attesting to continuity as well as development in his artistic approach.
The details of his career and impact remain to be explored further.
