Rene Bolliger 1918 - 1972

Born in Zürich

Went to school at the “Beaux Arts” after secondary school and “Humanitês”- 1960. Uses his high skill and talent to express his hidden homosexuality.

He illustrates texts by famous contemporary authors and poets like Jean Gener, Roland Caillaux et Marcel Jouhandeau’s “Tiresias”

These unique sketches and illustrations are “maquettes/projects” for illustrated art portfolios that have never been published.

These “maquettes” which were very confidential and quite secret, due to the fame of the family of the author, show a great artistic capacity and a rare sense of drawing
