Geni Peter was a famous abstract artist and sculptor in the post-World War II period. Born in 1908 in Basel, Switzerland, he came to the Netherlands in 1939, where he was interned and later became part of the (artist) resistance.
Geni Peter has a very individual, recognizable style, influenced by Bauhaus, Mondrian, Kandinsky and Paul Klee, among others.
Geni has had exhibitions in major museums such as the Kunsthalle Basel, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (see photos of the prospectus of one of his exhibitions here) and the Gemeentemuseum Arnhem. His work is still part of the permanent collections of these museums.
