Charles Hindenlang

Charles Hindenlang (1 October 1894 – 30 April 1960) was a Swiss painter and glass artist.[1]

Early life

Hindenlang was born in Basel on 1 October 1894.[1]

After completing school, he began an apprenticeship in a shipping company.[2] In 1911 he joined Karl Schneider as an apprentice decorative painter.[2] In 1914 he attended the Basel trade school and later studied autodidactically with Fritz Baumann, Paul Wilde and Jakob Mumenthaler, a brother of the architect Ernst Mumenthaler.[3]

Work

Hindenlang was part of the artists' collective Gruppe Rot-Blau II.[3][4] They are known as Basel's classical generation of painters and achieved their breakthrough in 1907 at a joint exhibition at the Kunsthalle Basel. The artists maintained a friendly exchange with the Basel artist group Das neue Leben, founded in 1918, and had a significant influence on the development of Basel painting.
