Arnold Brügger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnold Brügger (1888–1975) was a Swiss painter. He painted in the styles of Cubism, Futurism, and Expressionism.

Brügger was born in Meiringen, in the Bernese Oberland. He attended the Applied Arts College in Bern, where he befriended Fritz Baumann. In 1913, the two lived together in the Alps where they painted landscapes together until the beginning of the First World War.[1]

Brügger was a founding member of the Neue Leben artist group, along with Fritz Baumann, Otto Morach, Niklaus Stoecklin, and Alexander Zschokke.[2]
