life and work

Ernest Hubert was the son of Arnold (1865-1910) and grandson of the founder Jacques Huber (1828-1909), who had founded the publishing house Huber and Co.

After passing his Matura , Hubert trained as a painter in Zurich , Hamburg , Berlin and Geneva . In Paris he attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in 1923 and also worked as a freelance journalist . Hubert was able to exhibit his works in the Salons Société des Artistes Indépendants , Société du Salon d'Automne and Salon des Tuileries .

In addition to his artistic activity, which in addition to panel painting also included illustrations for books and drawings, Hubert was considered a great portraitist who portrayed writers and painters for large publishers with sketchy spontaneity. Because of the Second World War , Hubert had to leave his adopted home in 1940 and moved to Bern. Here he met his wife Marie Limacher. The founder of Scherz Verlag, Alfred Scherz, made it easier for Hubert to start his career in Bern by commissioning the design of book covers and illustrations. Hubert was a member of art commissions and presented the section of the Bernese GSMBA from 1952 to 1958 .

After Marie Huber-Limacher's death in 1992, the Frauenfeld community received all of the painter's remaining works, including panel paintings and 180 oil paintings as well as many drawings, a selection of which was sold.
