Claude Loewer
(La Chaux de Fonds 1917 - 2006 Montmollin Sw.)
This abstract pastel water colour painting was offered as attributed to Claude Loewer and was acquired, inexpensively, simply because I liked it. Very much, and even maybe somewhat faded and without a proper signature or name attached. The attribution probably an educated guess by the seller. He was a Swiss painter who'd studied in Paris' academies in the 1930s and probably/possibly also under André Lhote (1885-1962). In 1940 he moved back to Switserland. He was heavily involved in the famous Raymond Picaud tapestry studios in Aubusson (dep. Creuse) executing his designs in wool.
Some examples to illustrate his designs.
