Otto Meister

Born in 1887.

Died in 1969.

Otto Meister (1887–1969) was a painter whose work, according to the available sources, focuses primarily on landscapes. He studied at the Académie Ranson in Paris between 1909 and 1912. The documented period of activity places him in Zurich from 1927 to 1950, according to the SIKART entry (identifier 4025955).

Biographical details and the stylistic interpretation of his work remain partially obscure, according to the same entry, and call for further investigation.

This notice brings together the established facts — dates of life (1887–1969), training (Académie Ranson, 1909–1912), principal subject (landscapes) and period of activity in Zurich (1927–1950) — without claiming to provide exhaustive documentation. For verification or further research, the SIKART reference (ID 4025955) is the principal documentary point of reference cited in the sources.

Source note and caveat: the SIKART entry (ID 4025955) is the central documentary source cited here; it nevertheless indicates that the artist’s career and style remain partially obscure, warranting caution and further research.
