Paintings by Alex Katz, one of the most famous contemporary American painters have been hung alongside a selection of works by Felix Vallotton, one of Switzerland’s most renowned artists, who lived 100 years ago. The show is like walking through the studio of artists who could very well have been painting side by side. Although Katz was born two years after Vallotton died and knew very little of him, there are uncanny resemblances in the themes that inspired them and in the way they painted. Arts correspondent, Michèle Laird, speaks with Bernard Fibicher, the Director of the Fine Arts Museum to ask him more about the show: Tue, 02 Apr 2013 16:45:01 GMT http://worldradio.ch/wrs/programmes/arts_CH/arts-ch-spotting-the-differences-in-an-alex-katz-e.shtml?35240 79fb7a047369e85e0d59f47d8906b200-25240 Programmes/Arts CH Daily Shows/The Wrap Two related events, the first one a literary gathering called “Utopia and Magnificent Obsessions,” are taking place in Ascona and Locarno.
