Alois Carigiet

Alois Carigiet [ karidʑɛt ] (* August 30, 1902 Trun, Grisons; † August 1, 1985 Trun ) was a Swiss painter, draftsman, lithographer and children's book author.

Life

Alois Carigiet was the older brother of the later actor Zarli Carigiet. He came in 1911 with his parents to Chur, served an apprenticeship as a decorative painter and then went to Zurich, where he worked in an advertising studio. In 1927, he was able to open his own studio, where he designed for a cabaret stage sets and costumes. In 1939 he moved from the graphic to the freelance artist when he relocated to Obersaxen.

He also worked on the illustration of children's books. The best known was the Schellenursli ( text by Selina Chönz ), with which the Engadine custom Chalandamarz became world famous. The following children's books such as Florina and the wild bird did not quite reach this level of awareness, but are no less valuable from the artistic point of view.

This was followed by exhibitions in Schaffhausen, Solothurn and Geneva. In 1950 he moved back to Zurich. In 1956 he created on behalf of the brewery hawks (Schaffhausen), the mural paintings of the "Black Eagle" in Stein am Rhein. In 1960 he returned to his home Grison and devoted himself further to the illustration of books. In addition, he also wrote children's books themselves.

From Alois Carigiet the red clover of the state lottery in 1937 as well as the poster for the 1939 National Exhibition in Zurich come. Carigiet also worked as a set designer and in 1933 co-founded the Cabaret Cornichon.

The work of Alois Carigiet is in the Museum Sursilvan in Trun a room dedicated.
