About Ferdinand Hodler
Ferdinand Hodler (1853 – 1918) was one of the most important Swiss painters of the late 19th and early 20th century. He started out producing massive, simplified portraits and by the mid-1880s, a linear stylization was visible in his subject pictures, which dealt increasingly with the symbolism of youth and age, solitude, and contemplation. This brought him acclaim throughout Europe.
