Career
Though originally trained as a printer, he taught himself to draw and paint. At the age of about 30 years old, he began to sculpt.
His early works were predominantly terra-cotta and plaster, but by 1945, he was sculpting almost exclusively with stone. His earlier sculptures were very abstract and geometrical, and also quite large in size. In the mid-1950s, Aeschbacher began using mostly volcanic rock as a medium, and his sculptures became more fluid and smaller. By the late 1950s, his sculptures again became angular and large, with pieces as large as Script error: No such module "convert". tall.[1]
