Artist: Maufra, Maxime
Maxime Maufra (1861 – 1918) was born in Nantes but after a career as a businessman, he went full time as an artist.
He moved to Brittany to become a full time painter (and etching and lithography).
He became good friends with fellow artist Paul Gauguin.
Maufra was mainly an artist of landscapes and marine views. 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.
