Translated from the German Wikipedia:
“Emil Berger, the son of a watchmaker, grew up in Waldenburg [Germany] and trained as a primary school teacher at the Wettingen teacher training college. He taught at the primary school in Sissach from 1912 to 1955. Berger undertook study trips to Munich, Dresden, Italy, and Paris, becoming a self-taught painter along the way. He copied Arnold Böcklin and Ferdinand Hodler and engaged with the works of Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Paul Cézanne. Several working stays took him to the Bernina Hospice, Flims, Zermatt, the Bernese Oberland, and St. Antönien. From 1928 onward, he exhibited regularly in various group exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Basel and in the Baselland group exhibitions. Two major solo exhibitions were held in Sissach in 1974 and 1978.”
