About this audio guide
Atelier Hermann Haller in Zurich opens on a question about a trained painter who gave up the brush for good, following the Swiss painter to Rome in 1905, where a stay among Etruscan and Egyptian carvings pushed him toward clay instead. It traces his years in Paris studying Rodin, Maillol and Bourdelle, his move to Zurich in 1914, and the studio the city built to his own design by 1932. Look for the tiny terracotta figures set alongside the life-size nudes that made his reputation.
