Georges Froidevaux

Georges Froidevaux spent the last 20 years of his life in Le-Bas-Monsieur near La-Chaux-de-Fonds, where he died in 1968. He was a painter and graphic designer, was married to a Spanish woman and had five children. He created a lot of abstract paintings and even some graffiti, one of which can be seen at the former “Manufacture de Cigarettes Cortaillod” (which today belongs to Philip Morris). Froidevaux also created tapestries, one of which hung in the Neuchâtel Parliament hall, and he notably took part in the first São Paulo Art Biennial in 1951.
