The four Barraud Brothers

19 May 2019

The four Barraud brothers are among Switzerland’s best-kept art secrets. They were born in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

François (1899-1934), Aimé (1902-1954), Charles (1897-1997) and Aurèle (1903-1969) are four talented painters from one family. They show more quality and variety in modern Swiss art than Giacometti’s and Ferdinand Hodler’s.

Their paintings are important works of European realism in the Interbellum (the 1920s and 1930s).

The museum MORE in Gorssel, The Netherlands, shows many of their paintings in the exhibition The Barraud Brothers.
