Maxime Maufra

Maxime Maufra (17 May 1861 – 23 May 1918) was a French landscape and marine painter, etcher and lithographer.

Maufra had his first solo exhibition in Paris in 1894, at Le Barc de Toutteville.

He found inspiration for his art in his travels which took him to the Dauphiné (1904), the Midi (1912), Algeria (1913) and Savoy (1914).

[1] In his compositions, Maufra sometimes quoted the pointillist technique of Camille Pissarro or Alfred Sisley, and also took from the strong colors and powerful drawing of the Pont-Aven School.

Maufra remained an independent artist his whole life through and dedicated his art to recording the beauty of nature.
