Author: Gérald Genta
This substantial monograph explores, for the first time, a lesser-known artistic side to the internationally acclaimed Swiss watchmaker. Aptly named the ‘Picasso of Timepieces’, Gérald Genta was also a passionate painter, a facet of his life often overshadowed by his watchmaking fame. This beautifully crafted book, created in collaboration with his estate, showcases the breadth of Genta’s artistic talents, revealing his true passion and creativity. Fully illustrated with over 350 paintings.As his wife Evelyne fondly recalls, painting was Genta’s ‘oxygen’, a constant companion throughout his travels and a true reflection of his inner drive. This collection provides a chronological journey through his works, illustrating the effortless unfolding of the figurative compositions into the abstract style of his painterly work. His work reflects a rich tapestry of art historical influences, including the work of Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, Marie Laurencin, Joan Miró and Amedeo Modigliani, providing a fresh perspective on his creative output.Featuring an insightful introduction by British art critic and writer James Cahill, this monograph is a must-have for art enthusiasts and collectors. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the lesser-known artistic legacy of Gérald Genta, a master whose work has left an indelible mark on both the watchmaking and art worlds.
ISBN 9781912122820. HENI Publishing. hb. 396 pages.
