Villa Flora, its Collectors, its Artists

At the beginning of the 20^th century, the Villa Flora and its gardens in Winterthur, Switzerland were transformed by architect Robert Rittmeyer to house the Nabis and Fauvist collection of Hedy and Arthur Hahnloser: Bonnard, Vallotton, Vuillard, Matisse, Rouault, Maillol, but also Van Gogh, Cézanne and Redon. Owing to a lack of funds, the Villa Flora closed in 2014. In a voice-over, their son Hans Robert Hahnloser relates the story of this couple, their passion for an art that was little-known at the time, and their contributions to the cultural landscape of Winterthur.
