Otto Meyer-Amden (1885–1933) was a Swiss painter and graphic artist renowned for his devotional works that explore themes of human affection, meditation, and spiritual inner movement through a blend of figuration and geometric abstraction.

In 1912, after studies Zurich, Munich and Stuttgart, he relocated to the village of Amden in eastern Switzerland—later incorporating it into his surname—and spent much of his career there until 1928, producing drawings and paintings in media such as pencil, chalk, Indian ink, watercolour, and oil that emphasise connective density, simplicity, and truth derived from spiritual necessity.

Drawings
Lee Lozano
Published by Hauser & Wirth Zurich, 2006, 194 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 23.9 × 29.5 cm, English
Price: €35

Produced over the course of little more than a decade, Lee Lozano’s art is striking for its breadth and vigour. As well as paintings characterized by energy, daring physicality, and tireless investigation of the body and gender, Lozano’s oeuvre also includes conceptual works and drawings, the latter of which are the focus of this publication. A selection of the artist’s early narrative and figurative drawings from 1960 to 1964—all of which were previously unpublished—are presented alongside texts by Barry Rosen and Jaap van Liere, as well as extracts from the artist’s own diaries that capture the wit, intelligence, and anger that animated her brief yet profoundly influential career.
