On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his death, the Museum Franz Gertsch in Burgdorf (Switzerland) is showing an exhibition of works by the Swiss painter Varlin. Varlin, born in 1900 in Zurich as Willy Guggenheim, has a special position in the history of twentieth-century Swiss painting. Unswayed by the avant-garde and abstract tendencies of his time, he created an autonomous figurative oeuvre that focuses on the fragility of everyday life. His favourite motifs included portraits, interiors, architectural forms, landscapes, still lifes and nudes. Varlin died in 1977 in Bondo in the Val Bregaglia.
