Hans Erni (1909-2015) was a Swiss painter, draftsman, and sculptor. He studied at the Académie Julian in Paris, then, in 1930, at the School of Applied Arts in Berlin. In Paris, he associated with Jean Arp, Mondrian, Brancusi, Calder, Henry Moore and many other artists. He was strongly influenced by the works of Braque and Picasso. In 1934, he joined the Abstraction-Création group. His graphic production was abundant, as were his illustrations of works, often of great depth. He was the artist who accompanied Éluard in « Sommes-nous deux ou suis-je solitaire ? » (Au vent d'Arles, 1959), a work that the poet regarded as the most successful of his considerable oeuvre.
