The Swiss Foundation of Photography honours a prominent photographer of the 20th century.

Swiss photographer Gotthard Schuh (1897-1969) influenced modern photojournalism by developing a personal style that removed the distinction between worlds, poetry and reality. A comprehensive retrospective exhibition of his works can be seen until October 11, 2009, in Winterthur. (All photos courtesy of the Swiss Foundation of Photography)
