Eglin, Walter - Malerei, Entwurfszeichnung Wandbild Realschule Hofmatt, Gelterkinden (Prähistorische Jagd) is a 1954 unspecified by Walter Eglin, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting shows three large animals in a flat, stylized style. A white boar runs toward a bigger white animal—maybe a horse or cow—while a third animal, possibly a reindeer, stands in the background. The colors are mostly white, dark blue, and gold, with sharp outlines and no deep shadows. The boar’s movement looks urgent, almost like it’s charging. The background has a simple tree and a faint shape that might be a person or animal, but it’s hard to tell. If you like bold, flat colors and simple shapes, check out impasto.
Walter Eglin spent his life in the small Swiss town of Sissach, where he balanced teaching art to kids with painting on the side.
