Framed Painting by artist "Frank Cozier"

Framed landscape oil on board painting by artist "Frank Cozier" (1883-1948). Crozier studied at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School in 1907 and was a member of the Charterisville artists' colony in Heidelberg, Victoria somewhere between 1900 and 1910 with Amandus Julius Fischer,^[1] then with the group centred on Clara Southern at nearby Warrandyte. He and W. B. McInnes held a private exhibition in Collins Street before leaving for Europe in 1912.

Crozier served in France in 1917, notably in the area around Pozières but it was only in 1918 that he was made an official war artist. Where other war artists were civilians who were attached to the army and given honorary rank, Frank Crozier was already a serving soldier, and so his contributions were part of his military duties.

Post-war he appears to have made a living as a prolific painter of farm scenes and landscapes which now fetch modest prices at auction. He died at Warrandyte.
