Collection of Villa Flora


Hedy and Arthur Hahnloser-Buhler amassed a quality collection of Swiss and French art between 1907 and 1930.  The focus of the collection was young Swiss artists and works of the Nabis artists such as Bonnard, Vallotton, and Vuillard; Fauves including Matisse, Rouault, and Manguin; and their forerunners, the fathers of Modernism including Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Redon.  The collection is still housed in the collectors’ former home, Villa Flora located in Winterthur, Switzerland.

"There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder even-the French air clears up the brain and does good-a world of good."
