Ferdinand Hodler was born in Berne but worked mostly out of Geneva. He's known as one of the greatest Swiss painters of the late 19th to early 20th centuries apart from Klee. His early work sucked alot, with big limp landscapes. By 1890, he shifted his style with painting Night and began painting in a huge dark, allegorical theme. These paintings contain stylized figures in patterns of color, form and lines. Hodler named his approach to painting Parallelism but was also seen as a member of the Symbolist, Art Nouveau, and Expressionist movements. At the end of life, he returned to the landscape. The boy above is his son, who appears in several of the vestigal type painting series.
