SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Born in Stuttgart in 1923 and died in Paris in 1985, Otto Schauer, also known as Friedrich Otto Schauer, is described as a German painter who worked in France from 1950 onwards. He settled in Paris that same year. According to a biographical note, he was introduced to painting by Anton Kolig and Willi Baumeister.
Landscapes and female nudes are among the subjects associated with his work. Three titles provide dated reference points: Nu et montagne (1966), Île de la grande fortune (1969) and Potager (1980). An exhibition at the galerie du Bac in Paris is recorded in 1953, followed by a presentation at the musée Carnavalet in 1992. An untitled canvas from 1974 is described in an auction catalogue as an oil on canvas measuring 80 × 80 cm, signed and dated on the reverse.
This profile brings together identity references for Otto Schauer and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
