Early phase

In the early, representational phase Markus Jenzer devoted himself almost exclusively to landscape painting. Inspired by Impressionism, in the early 70s he escaped from what he had learned previously. In the bright landscapes of the South (Provence, Tuscany), accompanied by one of his former teachers, Franco Mazzoni, he found the breakthrough to his own way of painting. The bright colours and upbeat ease of his brushstrokes dominated his work from then on.
