Rémy Zaugg Painter Rémy Zaugg (1943-2005), born in Courgenay in the Swiss Jura, lived and worked in Basel and Mulhouse. He was, as he liked to emphasize, primarily a painter. However, he was early on motivated by fundamental questions regarding the aesthetic and ethical justification of perception in relation to images, later extending this to museums and exhibitions, architecture, and urban spaces, leading to written expressions. His first major project was the cartographic translation of the reproduction of a Cézanne painting, which he undertook as a student in the 1960s. It was an unusual form of translating synoptic visual perceptions and momentary observations into terms and notations, and he approached this in continually new attempts. This was followed by various collaborative opportunities for projects and joint texts with the ethnologist Jacques Hainard. After the major solo exhibition at the Kunstmuseum.
