Riccardo Schweizer
Born as Riccardo Antonio Svaizer, his first works were frescoes painted at the age of 11 and still visible today. Before enrolling in the Carmini Art Institute in Venice in 1945, he attended courses at the Technical Institute of Belluno.
In the early 1950s, he moved to the Côte d’Azur to meet Picasso, Chagall, Legér, Le Corbusier, Cocteau and the poet Paul Eluard.
Back to Italy and after graduating at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, he taught for a short period in Trentino but gave up after a month because he was called by Bruno Saetti who wanted him as assistant at the Academy; he taught painting and became part of the avant-garde of the Venetian cultural environment together with Maderna, Nono, Stravinskij, Vittorini, Quasimodo, De Pisis and many others.
In 1960 he left the Academy of Venice to settle in the French Riviera and to devote himself to the ceramics.The first mural works were born in the following years, including Apoteosi della Tecnica for the Publishing Institute of Milan and acrylic panels and frescoes for two hotels in San Martino di Castrozza.
After the wedding in 1963 and the birth of his daughters Barbara and Monica, a fruitful collaboration began with the Ceramica Pagnossin company in Treviso until the second half of the 1970s, inaugurated with the low relief for the Levico thermal baths
In 1978 he realized the concept of total art (architecture-painting) with the interior design of the Da Silvio restaurant in San Michele all’Adige: from the decorative panels on the walls, to the lighting bodies, to various devices and tools such as soapstones for cooking at the table. The restaurant is nowadays cultural heritage of Trentino. The previous year he had created a large panel for the meeting room of the Agricultural Institute. In the 1980s, the versatile artist carried out projects of various kinds, including the 3 facades of the town hall of Carrosnel in the canton of Nice, where he experimented with a new technique based on oxides and concrete.
Schweizer received numerous prizes and recognitions, including the victory in the international competition for the decorations at Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes in 1982, the gold medal at the 10th Biennale, the Murano Award, the Cavalierato della Repubblica awarded in 2001, as well as membership with the prestigious Academies of the Agiati and the Accesi in Trentino. He died in September 2004 in Casez, in Val di Non.
“It would not be exact, indeed limiting, to pigeonhole you only within the painting sector. In this aspect of your work you could be defined as an artist-painter as the French say; as indeed I believe it is when it comes to people of genuine talent”
