  • Luzern, September 2007
    Luzern, September 2007 Lucerne September 2007 LUCERNE'S LION MONUMENT After flying into Zurich and taking the train to Lucerne, we walked to the Lion monument... a very peaceful setting made all the more enjoyable with the knowledge that the return walk would be mostly downhill and followed by wine, cheese and chocolates! The traditionally neutral Swiss supplied mercenaries to foreign governments and enjoyed a reputation for honoring their agreements. In 1792 the Swiss Guards’ ABOVE: Bertel Thorwaldsen's Lõwendenkmal, Lucerne honor was put to the test, when --after trying to escape the French Revolution--King Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, and their children were hauled back to the Tuileries Palace in Paris. A mob of working-class Parisians stormed the palace in search of aristocratic blood. More than 700 Swiss officers and soldiers died while defending the palace, without knowing that their royal employers--like Elvis--had left the building. In the early 1800s, the Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen was hired to sculpt a monument to the fallen Swiss Guards. The sculpture was carved in a sandstone cliff above the city center HANS ERNI: Mondays, when many tourist attractions are closed, is a good day to walk the 2 miles from the Center of Lucerne to the Museum of Swiss Transportation which is co-located with an IMAX, a planetarium and a delightful collection of work by local artist Hans Emi. h t t p : / / w w w . h a n s - e r n i . c h / h t m l / l i t h o g r a p h i e n .

  • Plakate Hans Erni
    Plakate Hans Erni 1953-1967 1 2 Plakate von Hans Erni 1953-1967 3 4 Erni Hans * 1909 Luzern, †2015 ebenda Nach einer Lehre als Vermessungstechniker und als Bauzeichner in einem Archi- tekturbüro besuchte Hans Erni 1927 und 1928 die Kunstgewerbeschule in Luzern. Anschliessend verbrachte Erni Studienaufenthalte an der Académie Julian in Paris und an der Akademie in Berlin. Es folgten zahlreiche Reisen durch Europa und Afrika; zwischen 1929 und 1933 war sein Wohnsitz abwechselnd Luzern und Paris. In Paris machte Erni Bekanntschaft mit Kandinsky, Klee, Braque und Picasso, und wurde Mitglied der Pariser Künstlergruppe «Abstraction-Création» – eine kosmopo- litische Vereinigung von Künstlern der Moderne. 1935 Mitglied des Schweizerischen Werkbundes (SWB), 1937 Mitbegründer der Gruppe abstrakter Schweizer Künstler «Allianz». Für die Schweizerische Landesausstellung in Zürich 1939 schuf er ein 91 Meter langes und fünf Meter hohes Wandbild mit dem Titel «Die Schweiz, das Ferienland der Völker», mit dem er in der breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt wurde. Seit diesem Zeitpunkt erhielt er zahlreiche Aufträge für Wandbilder und Plakate. Ernis künstlerische Arbeiten umfassen ein breites Spektrum: 1950 entstanden die ersten Keramiken, anfangs der 1960er-Jahre erste Bronze-Skulpturen. Auch den Philatelisten ist Hans Erni ein Begriff: 1965 gestaltete er die ersten fünf Briefmarken «Pro Juventute» für die PTT, auch für das Fürstentum Liechtenstein entwarf er drei Briefmarken-Serien. 1967 erhielt er den Luzerner Kunstpreis, 1979 wurde das Hans Erni Museum im Verkehrshaus der Schweiz in Luzern eröffnet. Bemerkenswert ist, dass Hans Erni, wie auch Hans Falk, seine Kunst nie in den Dienst der Wirtschaftswerbung stellte. So arbeitete er neben den Plakaten für den Tourismus, hauptsächlich für humanitäre-, kulturelle- und soziale Institutionen.

  • Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (1906–1997) Worked in Various Careers Before Turning His Attention to Sculpture Full Time at the Age of Thirty
    1950 Sculpture in Wood and Stone by Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (1906–1997) worked in various careers before turning his attention to sculpture full time at the age of thirty. His skills earned him a position as a professor of art at the University of Texas and commissions from many public and private institutions. His sculptures are created in various media, such as Lucite and steel. This exhibition of the California-based artist’s work presented thirty-seven of his sculptures. Barnes studied with Carl Milles (1875– 1955) at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. [File contents: exhibition flier] Color Compositions by June Wayne (March) June Wayne’s (1918–2011) work received publicity in an article by Jules Langsner, who praised her for developing techniques of drawing the viewer’s eye through imagery and producing a sense of movement in her subjects. Her more recent works (as presented in the show) were drawn from the dilemmas to be found in Franz Kafka’s works. [File contents: two articles, one more appropriate for a later show of 1953 in memoriam Director Donald Bear] Prints by Ralph Scharff (April) Sixteen pieces by Ralph Scharff (1922–1993) were exhibited in the Thayer Gallery. Some of the works included in this exhibition were Apocrypha, I Hate Birds, Walpurgisnacht, Winter 1940, Nine Cats, and Four Cows and Tree Oranges. Watercolors by James Couper Wright (April 3–April 15) Eighteen of James Couper Wright’s (1906–1969) watercolors were presented in this exhibition. Wright was born in Scotland, but made his home in Southern California for the previous eleven years.

THE 100 th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIELD POST IN SWITZERLAND 1889 – 1989 ARTHUR WYSS Translated by Eric Lienhard from '100 Jahre Feldpost in der Schweiz 1889-1989' published by Swiss Post. The Helvetia Philatelic Society thanks the author, Arthur Wyss, and Swiss Post, Bern for permission to use the text material and illustrations in an English translation. All copyrights remain with Swiss Post. Thanks to Eric, our vice-chairman, for his painstaking translation which will appear in several parts over the next twelve months. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 1. Before the Existence of Field Post (FP) The lexicon defines simply: "FP is a branch of the postal service which ensures the postal connection between the military and home as well as within the military". Thus it is at the same time the communication channel between the army and the people as well as between the individual troop contingents. The military transmission of orders and reports at the front by means of mounted couriers, pigeon post as well as optical and acoustic signals – these days mainly by wireless – does not belong in this category and remains excluded. Basic military post existed in antiquity, in the Middle Ages and in recent times. In 1425, during a military action in the Eschental, Bern maintained for a short time a messenger service to Domodossola with stations in Meiringen and Münster (Goms).
