About the Item
Artwork sold with frame (39.5 x 53.5 cm)
Willy Suter (1918–2002) was a Swiss painter born in Basel and later based in Geneva.
He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich from 1939 to 1941 under Ernst Gubler and continued at the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva with Alexandre Blanchet. He later became a teacher of drawing and painting at the Geneva School of Visual Arts.
His work is marked by expressive yet controlled brushwork, with bold contrasts of color and a focus on atmosphere rather than narrative detail. Suter painted landscapes, lakes, coastal and mountain scenes, harbors, and urban views, often devoid of human figures but with traces of human presence suggested through machines, ships, or cranes.
From the 1970s onward, and again in the late 1980s, he moved increasingly toward abstraction, creating freer and more experimental compositions.
His paintings are preserved in public collections, including the Musée d’art et d’histoire de Genève, and he is remembered as a notable figure in twentieth-century Swiss art, bridging figurative and abstract traditions.

Willy Suter, born July 3, 1918 in Basel and died March 19, 2002 in Geneva, is a Swiss painter. From 1939 to 1941 he studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich with Ernst Gubler. In 1942 he was a pupil of Alexandre Blanchet at the School of Fine Arts in Geneva. As a young artist, he became a member of the Kunstlergruppe of Winterthur, of the society of painters, sculptors section of Geneva in 1946 and of the group of Saint Corps of Geneva in 1948. His first friends were the painters Rollier and Alberto Giacometti. During the 1970s, and again in the late 1980s, Suter increasingly turned to abstract painting. One of the characteristics of all of his work is the almost total renunciation of an illusionistic depth of space, in other words the deliberate perception of the image as a surface.
