About

Ferdinand Gehr (1896–1996) was a Swiss painter and stained-glass artist associated especially with church art. Active from the 1920s onward, he developed a distinctive modern approach to Christian subjects and became an important figure in the renewal of church painting in Switzerland. His work was at times controversial, including in Oberwil, Zug, where murals for the Church of Bruderklaus were veiled after protests. His work was later the subject of major exhibitions and reviews.
