Maria Luisa Wiget
Born in 1901.
Died in 2001.
Maria Luisa Wiget was an artist whose career bears witness to a creative diversity. She distinguished herself as a visual artist, draughtswoman and wood engraver, exploring the relief technique in particular. Her artistic education took her to Paris, where she refined her approach.
Between 1938 and 1946, she lived in New York, a period during which her work probably evolved under the influence of this new environment. Details of her career and achievements remain partly obscure, leaving room for interpretation and discovery.
