- Private collection Belgium.
The distinguished Swiss artist Albrecht Schnider produced the present painting in Brussels in 1996, a work underpinned by drawing, and striking for the clarity of its composition, as the highpoint and culmination of his large-format figure paintings. Inspired by Ferdinand Hodler's Eurhythmie from 1895, Schnider emphasises time and temporality through the arrangement of a line of young men all striding clearly towards the left. The five men with blank stares seem oppressive in their anonymity, and with the progressive fading of the paint, they are in danger of disappearing completely. According to Schnider, the figures are neither friends nor brothers; rather, the artist depicts the same person in the five phases of a sequence of movements. With Albrecht Schnider, loneliness, perceptible as the prevailing mood, is taken literally: one encounters oneself.
"I am constantly looking at the picture. And I look for the moment when the picture looks at me." Albrecht Schnider
