Gerald Genta (inbunden, eng)

Gérald Genta is a substantial monograph that explores, for the first time, a lesser-known artistic side to the internationally acclaimed Swiss watchmaker. Aptly named the ‘Picasso of Timepieces’, 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. 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. Perfect for art enthusiasts and collectors, this monograph offers a unique opportunity to delve into the lesser-known artistic legacy of Gérald Genta, a master who left an indelible mark on both the watchmaking and art worlds.
