Born in Basel, Switzerland, Hans Burkhardt was an artist who created assemblage and used other modernist techniques to make statements about modern society and particularly to express his anti war beliefs. He lived to be ninety years old and made paintings in response to most of the wars of the 20th century. The day following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, he began a series of Gulf War painting, which he continued throughout the war and its aftermath.
