August Suter (sculptor)
August Suter (19 July 1887 – 28 November 1965) was one of the most prominent Swiss sculptors of European stature in the first half of the 20th century. His circle of friends included important literary figures like Blaise Cendrars and James Joyce.
==Life==
August Suter was born at Basel, the son of Johannes Suter (1857–1907) a bookbinder from Eptingen and Katharina Suter-Schaub (1859–1941).〔(Information based on "Lebensdaten" at August-Suter-Museum site )〕 After an apprenticeship as a bookbinder with his father and courses in painting and drawing at the Basel Gewerbeschule (vocational school) he worked for local sculptor Carl Gutknecht (1878–1970), before he went to the Académie Julian in Paris in 1910. But he soon became an independent artist there and formed lifelong friendships with the writer Blaise Cendrars〔Suter had known Fred Sauser (Cendrar's real name) from the late 1890s at the Realschule in Basel.〕 and the English painter Frank Budgen, who worked as a model for him.〔Frank Budgen, ''Myselves When Young'', London: 1970〕 Cendrars was later to write a successful novel (''L'Or'') about Suter’s grandfather, Johann August of gold rush fame. Rodo (Auguste de Niederhäusern) advised him to whole-heartedly turn to sculpture. A long-standing friend was the Swiss poet and translator Siegfried Lang. Shortly before the War he also became acquainted with the German writer and anarchist Johannes Nohl. During the First World War Suter worked in Basel and Zurich, where he, his brother Paul and Frank Budgen got to know the exiled Irish writer James Joyce.〔August Suter, “Some Reminiscences of James Joyce”, ''James Joyce Quarterly'', Vol. 7, No. 3, Spring, 1970, pp. 191-98.〕〔Suter was one of the few people who attended Joyce’s funeral in war-locked Zurich in 1941.〕 He married singer Helene Moser (1893–1965) in 1917 and had three sons. From 1921 to 1939 Suter lived in Paris again and befriended the sculptor Charles Despiau, whose studio lay next to his.〔Gotthard Jedlicka, "Der Bildhauer August Suter" in ''Das Werk'', Band 14, 1927, p. 160〕 After the Second World War he worked intermittently in Paris and Basel, where he died at the age of 79 just months after his wife.
