Karl Lukas Honegger

Karl Lucas Honegger was born 1902 in Zurich. He spent his younger years completing an apprenticeship as Stage Painter at the former city theater (Stadtheater) of Zurich. He then moved to Berlin to continue his art studies. He lived there from 1923 till 1944 with short intervals for work in Lebus and Nauen.

Karl Lucas Honegger perception of arts was much stronger influenced by the German school rather than the French school. However the circumstances in Germany then have hindered a true perception of his art and a just international recognition.

Karl Lucas Honegger undertook extensive art traveling to broaden his arts expertise. Initially he visited European cultural centers, from 1928 on. Later he went to Argentina, Brazil, China, Finland, Indonesia, Japan, Canada, Lapplands, Peru and Thailand.

Since 1971, Karl Lucas Honegger works and lives in Kittenmuehle, above the Herrliberg. Where he, within most beautiful surroundings of his garden, had created a little empire to his own taste. Every day he is working on his new artistic endeavors of varying nature. His creations include portraits, landscapes, religious creations and sculptures.
