Otto Adolphe Paul Vautier (born September 9, 1863 in Düsseldorf , † November 13, 1919 in Geneva ) was a Swiss painter who was known for his portraits of women.
Life
Otto Vautier, the third son of the painter Benjamin Vautier and his wife Bertha, née Euler, attended the secondary school on Klosterstrasse in Düsseldorf until 1882 . Like his older brother Karl , he became a painter. He went to Munich to study painting at the Academy of Fine Arts there and became a student of Fritz von Uhde . There he met Leopold von Kalckreuth and frequented the Dachau artistic circles .
During his stay in Paris he met the painter Ernest Biéler around 1889 and accompanied him to Savièse and Evolène in Valais , where he studied landscape painting in the so-called School of Savièse . One of his students was his nephew Otto von Wätjen from 1902 to 1903 . The Geneva painters Alfred Rehfous (1860–1912) and John-Pierre Simonet (1860–1915) induced him to settle in Geneva in 1906.
From 1915 to 1917 he founded the Groupe du Falot , whose main themes were women and sensual love. Vautier exhibited in Geneva, Zurich and Paris and received the bronze medal at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 . From 1901 to 1903 he was President of the Society of Swiss Painters, Sculptors and Architects.
Vautier was married to Louise Marie, born Schnell. Her sons Otto Vautier the Younger (1893–1918) and Benjamin Vautier the Younger (1895–1974) were painters. Otto Vautier died in 1919.
