The Musée d'art de Pully has decided to revisit the Swiss painter's work in a major exhibition.

Organized jointly with the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Neuchâtel, where it will be shown again (June 22 - October 12, 2025), the exhibition explores, for the first time, how Hodler was perceived by the Swiss art scene of the time, and is the result of close collaboration with the Institut Ferdinand Hodler.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the figure of Ferdinand Hodler was inescapable. The painter enjoyed recognition far beyond national borders, rubbing shoulders with artists of the calibre of Klimt and Rodin. The power of his work and his imposing personality made him a tutelary figure of Swiss art, so much so that when he died in 1918, critics did not hesitate to assert that without Hodler there would be no Swiss art. Indeed, he was the first artist not to leave his homeland to train and pursue a career abroad. For all the artists of his generation, and those that followed, he was either a role model or an inspiration. For the first time, the exhibition looks at how the artists of his time appropriated some of the master's precepts, and how they sought to develop their own originality. Around fifteen of Hodler's works are on show, together with works by some fifty artists from the first half of the 20th century.
