Emilienne Farny

Emilienne Farny was a Swiss painter and sculptor. She was born in Neuchâtel and later moved to Paris, where she discovered Pop Art. After returning to Switzerland, she started painting landscapes around the Lake Leman, inspired by American pop art artists such as Roy Liechenstein.

Yes, I know, there aren’t a lot of women on this list. It is sadly super difficult to both make a list with well known artist and to make it diverse. I am open to suggestions for more artists and more categories. It is obviously difficult in some cases to exactly define the “category” an artist is in, especially when it comes to modern art, as many artists made different works during their lifetime. Categories marked with an “XXX” are there as a filler and aren’t relevant. The order of these is also up to debate, they are roughly chronological in the beginning but not anymore in the end.

---- This is the final list, I won’t make any changes anymore, except moving the different artists into other categories if I see it fit ----
