Coghuf, the artist who dances on the Röstigraben«

ARTICLE LONG FORMAT, Aude Robert-Tissot | Coghuf, whose real name was Ernst Stocker, is one of the major Swiss painters of the 20th century. And yet, the first book to retrace his entire oeuvre has only just been published. Beyond the undeniable importance of a monograph devoted to such an artist for the history of art, it has the particularity of having been conceived without barriers, in the image of the reception of the artist's work. Whether in Basel, his birthplace, or in the Franches-Montagnes, his adopted region, everyone agrees: Coghuf has been forgotten, and his work deserves to be brought back to light. This has now been achieved, thanks to the expertise of the book's editor, art historian Yves Guignard, and an innovative bilingual approach.
