Hermann Scherer is one of the most famous representatives of Expressionism in Switzerland. [...] His stone sculptures became jagged, and in his painting he increasingly used garish colour contrasts. From 1924 onwards he was inspired by a special material with which he had never before created: Wood. By the end of September 1926 he had created 25 wooden figures and over a hundred woodcuts. For Scherer, organic matter

Scherer's interface between expression and abstraction.
