Offered in this lot is a matted and framed lithograph by Albert Manser. Albert Manser grew up on a farm in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, Switzerland and began drawing at an early age. In his spare time, he began to paint pictures of rural life in his native Appenzell. In 1967, Ida Niggli encouraged him to switch entirely to the profession of painter. Since then, he exhibited his pictures all over the world. Manser is considered one of the most important representatives of naive art. In the New York Times, he was compared to the famous naive artist, Grandma Moses (1860–1961), on the occasion of an exhibition in the USA. He also became known through his children's books, Albertli and Barbara, which were translated into English and French. In 2010, Manser was awarded the Innerrhoder Culture Prize, the highest cultural award. The award was actually only planned for 2011, but it was brought forward due to his serious illness, which led to his passing. Albert Manser's work is highly collectable. The lithograph shows a village scene with every iconic Swiss item, from goats and hikers on the mountain to bell collars on cattle and Bernese Mountain dogs and pups. The art is signed and dated '85 in the lower left corner. This framed and matted lithograph is in good condition. The art shows 23" X 16" and the frame is 29" X 22".
