Carlos Schwabe 

From 1891, Schwabe exhibited at the Salon de la Société nationale des beaux-arts, the Salon de la Rose-Croix in 1892 and the Salon d'automne. He also exhibited at the Munich Secession in 1893 and at various Salons in Belgium, Geneva and Zurich, and with the dealer Siegfried Bing. He was awarded a gold medal at the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris, and in 1901 received the insignia of Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur. He had various solo exhibitions: at the Galerie des Artistes Modernes in 1903, the Galerie Moos in Geneva in 1920 and, posthumously, at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris in 1927.

The perfection of his graphic design places him as a precursor of Art Nouveau, and as one of the most personal Symbolists, with religious and social preoccupations but also sensitive to a certain pantheism due to his Germanic origins. These different directions complete the portrait of an artist possessed by his ideal.
