Life
Fornerod studied from 1898 to 1904 at the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Julian in Paris , where he later resided despite his Swiss nationality. His teachers were Jules Lefebvre and Tony Robert-Fleury . Several study trips took him to Spain; he was strongly influenced by Goya and El Greco . His wife Antoinette, a half-sister of Germaine Pichot and friend of Louise Lenoir , was probably of Spanish descent.
From 1905 Fornerod exhibited at the Artistes indépendants and the Salon d'Automne , later also at the Société Nationale in Paris, in the Salon de La Libre Esthétique in Brussels , in Geneva and in 1909 and 1913 at the Kunsthaus Zürich . At times he had a studio in Épiais-Rhus.
