Critics were agreed on Gubler's genius. Said one: "The daring of a Picasso and the colors of a Bonnard." Said a German critic: "Most of the younger Swiss artists behave like goldfish in a sheltered pond . . . Gubler stands out among these goldfish like a pike."

A government communique announced that Bonnard's papers contained...
