Albert Chavaz, born December 6, 1907 in Geneva, died January 17, 1990 in Sion, is a Swiss painter. Albert Chavaz, son of Alphonse, a baker, and Joséphine, née Perréard (a Frenchwoman from La Balme-de-Sillingy) is the eldest of a family of nine children. He studied at Saint Joseph College in Thonon where, under the impulse of a professor, he began to take an interest in pictorial art. He then began an apprenticeship as a baker which he never completed. Thanks to his mother, he was admitted in 1927 to the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva, where he studied under Fernand Bovy and Philippe Hainard, among others. From the beginning of his artistic career, he was part of the École des Pâquis, then led by Alexandre Cingria and Jean-Louis Gampert. There he met the Genevan painter Émile Chambon, with whom he remained close throughout his life and with whom he exchanged a very important correspondence. In 1931, he received the Harvey Prize for a portrait of Jeanne Delabays which was exhibited at the Swiss National Salon of Fine Arts at the Palais des Expositions in Geneva. Thanks to a scholarship, from 1933, he studied in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. He then worked in Valais on the decoration of the church of Fully. This canton therefore became the central point of his artistic career. In 1940, in Savièse, he met Julie Luyet, married her and settled in the town. They will have 6 children. Throughout Switzerland, he produced numerous murals in churches, public and private institutions, as well as in private homes, and also illustrated books. In 1944, he received a prize from the Committee of the Gaspard Vallette Foundation in Geneva, for all of his work. In 1957, a major retrospective of his work was organized at the Majorie Museum in Sion. Then, 10 years later, the Museum of Art and History of Friborg organized an exhibition on the occasion of its 60th anniversary. He lost his wife in 1977. A major retrospective of his work was organized at the Gianadda Foundation in Martigny and at the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts in Sion, in 1983. For his 80th birthday, he was made honorary bourgeois of the town of Saviese. On January 17, 1990, Chavaz died in Sion hospital, he rests with his wife in Savièse. Albert Chavaz belongs, with Raphaël Ritz, Édouard Vallet, Ernest Biéler and others, to what is called the School of Savièse.

- StalemateBy Joseph BroghammerLocated in Kansas City, MODue to the current situation related to the Novel Coronavirus pandemic, our gallery will donate 10% of our commission from this sale to the Kansas City Artists Coalition, which has been supporting local Kansas City Artists for the past 40 years. The Kansas City Artists Coalition (KCAC), is a non-profit, artist-centered, artist-run alternative space, supporting artists at every level in their career through exhibitions, continuing education and artist studios. Artist: Joseph Broghammer Title: “Stalemate” Materials : Chalk pastel and pencil on Arches Paper Date : 2018 Dimensions : 7 x 11 ft. Omaha based artist Joseph Broghammer is as much of a storyteller as he is an artist. His one-of-a-kind pastel drawings in “Animals” are chronicles of his life. The creatures Broghammer creates are vehicles to uncover the varying characteristics of the artist’s personal identity. Hence, Broghammer’s “Animals” translates as a flowing stream of consciousness. The different birds and livestock staring back at the viewer are ornamented with iconographic symbols – small surprises along the way. These trinkets are keys to understanding the stories Broghammer is sharing. Broghammer began mastering his “dry painting” technique during his B.F.A. in Visual Art at the University of South Dakota. He graduated in 1986 and a year later went on to study his M.F.A. at the University of Wisconsin. In 2009, he studied at Creative Capital in Omaha, Nebraska. As storytellers often do, Broghammer later went on to become an educator himself, teaching at WhyArts? and becoming an Artist Assistant at Vera Mercer in Omaha – both of which he still practices at today. It’s apparent that Broghammer’s work has resonated with so many people around the world. Only a few years after his formal education, he began exhibiting his work through various International group shows in Italy, Germany, Holland, Mexico, and even Kansas City. Although Broghammer’s portraits depict downy creatures, his work is very much about the human experience. They are honest and full of life, evoking a sincere exchange between artist and viewer. “Animals” is for the animal lovers, students, teachers, collectors, writers, the young or old, and art historians alike.
