François Ozenda (1923–1976) was a
painter born in Marseille, France. He spent his childhood there, in a
modest family. He left school at age 14 as a result of a motorcycle
accident. He worked various trades, generally living off the barter
of his art and support from his friends.
He claimed to have learned painting in
three months by attending the art school in Marseille, France. A
painter and mystical poet, he painted in a surrealistic style filled
with esotericism and spirituality. Between 1950 and 1976, he mixed
the artistic life with living on the Mediterranean coast. He had
several exhibitions, especially in the South of France in particular
in Vence and the Galerie Alphonse Chave.
In 1973, he settled in Salernes, France
and died of a heart attack in 1976.
After his death, retrospectives were
devoted to him, in Paris, Lyon, Marseilles, and
Trans-en-Provence.Wikipedia
