Biography
[edit]Son of the painter Auguste Baud-Bovy, Daniel Baud-Bovy acquired most of his artistic and literary training in the symbolist milieu in Paris. Significant in the art world in Switzerland, he was curator of the Rath Museum, director of the school of fine arts in Geneva (from 1908 to 1919), president of the Federal Commission of fine arts, artistic correspondent of the Encyclopédique Review, poet, author of numerous novels, and short stories often illustrated by his painter friends and children's plays. He also published art criticism.
In 1896 he married Jeanne-Catherine Barth (1872–1928), pianist, and was the father of musician Samuel Baud-Bovy.
In 1913, he accomplished the first modern era ascent of Mount Olympus with guide Christos Kakkalos and his compatriot Frédéric Boissonnas.[1]
Baud-Bovy's second marriage, in 1933, was to Aline-Thékla Nachmann, née Mayer (1905–1982).
