Kurt Seligmann (Basel, 1900 - Middletown, 1961). Seligmann was a Swiss-American Surrealist painter and engraver. He was known for his fantastic imagery of medieval troubadors and knights in macabre rituals and inspired by the carnival held annually in his native Basel, Switzerland.
Pierre Courthion (1902-1988). He was a Swiss art critic and historian. Courthion was educated at the University of Geneva and was awarded a scholarship to study painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. At the Louvre, he did his doctorate on the painter, Jean-Étienne Liotard. In 1941, Courthion interviewed Henri Matisse, but after months of difficult negotiations, Matisse refused to have the resulting book published, just a few weeks before it was due to come out. The "lost" interview was not published until 2013. His papers are held at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, California.
