Renée Schwarzenbach-Wille (1883-1959) was the youngest daughter of General Ulrich Wille, the supreme commander of the Swiss army in World War I, and his wife Clara, née the Countess of Bismarck. In 1904 Renée Wille married Alfred Schwarzenbach, co-proprie­tor of the world’s then largest silk company. The couple had five children, the third of which was the writer and photog­rapher Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942). They lived in Zurich until 1912, and subsequently on the Bocken estate near Horgen, where Renée Schwarzenbach-Wille trained for riding compe­titions and ran a musical salon, which was frequented by high-calibre musicians.

Renée Schwarzenbach-Wille died in Konstanz in 1959.

Renée Schwarzenbach-Wille started taking photographs at the age of fourteen and made her final picture six months before her death in 1959. From the very beginning, she deve­loped and printed most of her photographs herself in her own darkroom. She filed her unfailingly carefully inscribed and dated photos, marked with a Roman figure and her mono­gram – thus the title of the exhibition “R.S.” – in red, linen-bound albums of identical size.
