"The Kunstmuseum Bern and the Museums of Art and History of Geneva - located in the towns of birth and death of the artist - have decided to unite their collections and their forces to propose with the support of other Swiss institutions and numerous private lenders an exhibition of approximately 100 paintings which will make it possible to embrace the career of Hodler to establish the links he forged between his paintings and to decipher his pictorial ambitions.The exhibition is based on the postulates of a conference by the artist given in Friborg in 1897 under the name of La mission de the artist who exposed the major aesthetic principles of his work.He defined the notion of parallelism released from his studies of nature and men.In this apprehension of the universe Hodler developed the theory of his work. The exhibition shows the correspondences he establishes in the heart of his work but also between the paintings themselves: parallelism of the compositions but also of the feelings which respond from one canvas to another."--WorldCat Translated.
