Otto Schauer by Jean Leymarie

Otto Schauer's work is a total spiritual and technical adventure.

It is impossible to determine the sources and affiliations. It escapes criticism, commercial speculation, but it has benefited from the understanding of poets, the fervent support of some passionate amateurs. 
This painter, of extreme concentration, was himself, as the best interpreter of his own approach. His solitary career is articulated on a few motifs made up of autumn cycles, inspired by the successive places where he lived.

Jean Leymarie was successively assistant at the Louvre Museum, curator of the Grenoble Museum, professor at the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne. Chief Curator of the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris, Director of the Ecole du Louvre Director of the Académie de France in Rome. He is the author of many books on art.
