Biography
Biography
Arnold Fiechter was born in Sissach and grew up there with his sister Elise (1875–1962). His mother died in 1891, and his father, Arnold Fiechter-Niederhauser, married the widow Elisabeth Schneider. A short time later they moved to Basel. From 1894 to 1897, Fiechter completed an apprenticeship as a flat painter in Sarnen, and worked as a decorative painter in Central Switzerland. He then studied at the Basel vocational school under Fritz Schider. During this time he met Alfred Bloesch (1890–1967), with whom he had a lifelong friendship. At 20 years old, Fiechter was able to exhibit his watercolors at the Kunsthalle Basel. He died in 1943 in Basel.
1935 stellte Arnold Fiechter achtundneunzig seiner Bilder die die Jahre 1909 bis 1935 umfassten, in einer von Lucas Lichtenhan betreuten Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Basel aus
