On the occasion of Alois Carigiet's 100th birthday: The unknown early work. Although he was one of the most successful designers in Zurich, significantly contributing to the global reputation of Swiss advertising graphics with his posters and designing stage sets, costumes, and props for the Cabaret Cornichon, Alois Carigiet withdrew to Platenga in the Grisons region in 1939, where he worked as a painter and draftsman until 1950. In lithographs, oil paintings, drawings, and murals, Carigiet interpreted the native Grisons Alps and life in the mountain villages with an unpretentious and fresh approach, using angular, distinctive strokes in intensely vibrant colors. The majority of his early works depict the harmonious life in the mountains, the resonance between man and nature, and the daily toil of a life that, while hard, is also harmonious. The atmospheric and expressive landscapes and animal representations.
