Jakob Greuter (1890–1984) was born in the Swiss canton of Thurgau and moved to St. Gallen in 1907. He made a living as an unskilled metalworker and sanitation worker until 1918 and later joined the mountain pioneers. It was during this time that he started to draw. Greuter worked with found materials; magazines, for example, served him as sources for his drawings.
