Albert Chavaz Art
Swiss, 1907-1990
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.to

Impressionist Lakeside Landscape with Figures, Catalan School Oil Painting, Serene Park Scene with Reflections, Mid-Century European Art Artist: Antoni Maria Sadurní Albana (Vic, 1927 – 2014) Title: Lakeside Landscape with Figures Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 50 x 61 cm (19.7 x 24 in) Signature: Signed “Sadurní” lower right Framing: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint layer, fresh colors, no visible restorations. Solid stretcher. Charming mid-century European landscape painting depicting a tranquil lakeside park scene by Catalan painter Antoni Maria Sadurní Albana. The composition captures a serene body of water framed by large trees in the foreground, creating a natural window that leads the viewer’s eye toward a luminous line of golden trees in the distance. The painting is animated by small figures strolling along the opposite shore, including a striking red-clad figure that introduces a vibrant focal point within the calm natural setting. This subtle human presence adds scale and narrative while preserving the peaceful atmosphere of the landscape. Sadurní employs a lively, confident brushstroke reminiscent of late impressionist landscape traditions. The water surface is treated with delicate vertical reflections and soft tonal variations, while the foliage is rendered with energetic touches of green, ochre and warm golden hues that evoke autumn light. The composition unfolds in three distinct visual planes: the textured foreground shoreline, the reflective lake at the center, and the luminous tree line in the background. This classical landscape structure enhances depth and creates a harmonious balance between light, color and atmosphere. Paintings of this type are highly appreciated for their decorative appeal and their ability to introduce a sense of calm natural beauty into interior spaces. The balanced palette, atmospheric light and timeless landscape motif make this piece particularly suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors. A refined example of Catalan mid-century landscape painting combining impressionistic brushwork, naturalistic color harmony and a peaceful lakeside subject. Antoni Maria Sadurní Albana (Vic, 1927 – 2014) was a Catalan painter associated with the figurative landscape tradition of the second half of the 20th century. He studied at the Municipal School of Drawing in Vic and was connected to the artistic environment of the Olot School, well known for its landscape painting heritage. His work focuses primarily on Catalan landscapes, including rural scenes, wooded areas and lakeside views. Sadurní developed a distinctive style characterized by loose brushwork, atmospheric light effects and a harmonious palette inspired by the natural landscapes of Catalonia. He was also a member of the cultural group “Els 8 de Vic” and remained active in the artistic life of his region throughout his career.
