I have inherited an extraordinary archive of sketches, drawings, watercolours, & oils by my great-grandfather Albert Proetel (born Prötel, in 🇩🇪). He moved around Europe painting & married in Switzerland, setting up a studio in Lausanne. Never famous, probably suffered economically from being German in🇨🇭. His art has always been around on family walls. What on should I do other than just enjoy it? Some is framed, most in large folders. #art #artsuisse #kunst #lausanne #sierre #vaud #albertproetel
@JulietJFall Charity exhibition? I know it's a lot of work and prob too much - but it's an idea
@1ngi It's a good idea, but probably only once I have actually done some biographical research etc. Obviously now regretting not interviewing my grandmother about this (she died when I was about 18). Although there is some info in the personal archive of papers she left us.
