His background however was French Swiss; his family had its roots in a place called Palezieux, in the canton of Vaud. He attended the Eschenbacher Private School, where at a very young age, he had already developed a passion for drawing and painting. Having completed three semesters of law at the University of Berne, Cardinaux left for Munich in 1898 to further his artistic training. He learned figure drawing in the studio of Franz Stuck, who was one of the founders of the Munich Secession. Among Stuck’s students were such extraordinary talents as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. For two years, Cardinaux enthusiastically worked in Stuck’s studio. On top of that, the valuable collection at the Munich Pinakothek provided the young artist with ample opportunities to study the art of the old masters. While in Munich, Cardinaux never neglected his second big passion, the mountains. On his trips to the Kaisergebirge, he would occasionally paint as well. It was on such an occasion that he painted “Evening” in the area of Dachau in 1900. Back in Switzerland in 1904, Cardinaux painted his first design for a poster, a scene at Lake Oeschinen. Starting in1905, his name started to appear more and more in the Bernese art scene. He became well known as a painter and poster artist.
