Hans Erni was born in Lucerne on February 21, 1909, and died there on March 21, 2015. After apprenticeships as a surveyor and architectural draftsman, he attended the Lucerne School of Applied Arts in 1927/28 and subsequently studied at the Académie Julian in Paris and in Berlin; from 1930 to 1934, he was a member of the Abstraction-Création group. His extensive work includes lithographs, around 300 posters, murals, book illustrations, medals, and designs for about 90 stamps; from 1950 onwards, lithography became one of his central techniques. In 1979, the Hans Erni Museum was opened at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne.
