The exhibition presents 55 drawings selected from the immense archive of the Pestalozzianum Foundation in Zurich; made in Switzerland, by children aged two to thirteen, in the first two decades of the 20th century. At that time, there was great interest in children's art and even avant-garde artists, including the Dada movement that arose in Zurich in 1916, wanted to capture the mystery of the immediacy with which children perceive and depict reality. Educators and teachers throughout Europe, including Switzerland, also endeavoured to give children's creativity more space through a general renewal of drawing lessons, which marked the transition from 19th century pedagogy to modern schooling.
