Hauser Frédéric Manit Ozère (1896-1976) The Swimming Pool C.1960. Hungarian, Czech, Vallauris Erdelyi

Very rare and superb oil on hardboard by Manit Ozère representing a swimming pool scene around 1960, signed Ozère lower right. Size of the painting alone 27x22cm and 48x39cm including frame. This is therefore a magnificent composition by Manit Ozère which here represents a lively swimming pool scene around 1960. Painting typical of his production, with this surrealist and poetic side, his touch is also very recognizable as is his palette. Emblematic figurative work, in the purest tradition of the 1950s/1960s, which obviously brings to mind Cocteau, Picasso, Masson, Brauner etc...Logical because Manit Ozère will frequent these artists after his installation in Vallauris in the 1950s. Because Ozère will also be and above all at one time, one of the great ceramists of the epic of Vallauris, his production will be very personal and of high quality, quite close to that of his friends Raty, Endre Rozsda or Fidler where his decorations are rather surreal, representing animals or fantastic characters, as for his forms they are always very original and often zoomorphic or anthropomorphic (I regularly proposed ceramics of this artist). So painter and sculptor of Hungarian and Czech origin, his real name Frédéric HAUSER, he settled in Vallauris, where he frequently received Picasso and Cocteau. As an accomplished artist, he paints and sculpts. Picasso recognized Ozére as a great artist and said of his art that it was talented and diverse. He is one of the great Czech and Hungarian artists, along with Bela Erdelyi, Endre Rozsda (1913-1999), Árpád Szenes, Etienne Beöthy, Kallos, etc. His rating, despite the great rarity of his works, is quite substantial, especially in Hungary, of course. Painting in very good condition, delivered in an old frame. Work guaranteed authentic.
