Peter Birkhäuser
Peter Birkhäuser (1911 – 1976) was a Swiss poster artist, portraitist, and visionary painter, noted for his paintings illustrating imagery from dreams in the context of analytical psychology. In early age he left grammar school to study at an art school under Basel artist Niklaus Stoecklin. In his early career as an artist, he produced still-life and landscape paintings, ex libris plates, stamps, cartoons, posters, and portraits. In 1956, he achieved an artistic breakthrough with a long series of works painted directly from unconscious dream images. His new works were not well received by the Swiss art community, and it took several years before they would achieve a sufficient recognition. Nevertheless, he produced a number of his most significant paintings in the last years of his life.
