Paul Cezanne, Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet and many others -
between 1936 and 1956 the Swiss industrialist Emil Buhrle
(1890-1956) assembled an impressive collection around French
Impressionism. As the owner of the largest weapons factory in the
country he had close links to the historical events of the period
from World War II to the Cold War. Initially Emil Buhrle acquired
works almost exclusively in Switzerland; then, from 1951, an
intensive second phase followed, which was greatly influenced by
Buhrle's business dealings with the United States. The publication
illustrates the colourful history of the collection, which includes
a total of 633 works, and examines its importance with regard to
modernist art collections in Germany, Switzerland and the United
States. The survey is complemented by contributions from a number
of authors who present 70 masterpieces of the collection, from the
old masters to Picasso.
