1861 -1918 · Nantes, Pont-Aven, Brittany and Atlantic coasts
Wind-beaten cliffs, dusk ports and Breton countryside make Maxime Maufra a great post-impressionist interpreter of the Atlantic.
Maxime Maufra was born in Nantes in 1861 and died in Poncé-sur-le-Loir in 1918. Intended primarily for family commerce, he discovered outdoor painting during stays in England, where the landscapes of Turner and Constable nourished his gaze. He painted while working in trading before definitively choosing an artistic career at the end of the 1880s. In 1890, he stayed in Pont-Aven and Pouldu, in contact with Gauguin's circle. Without entirely adopting synthetism, Maufra simplified its masses, strengthened its colors and gave more autonomy to the rhythm of the touch.

Without entirely adopting synthetism, Maufra simplified its masses Brittany remains its privileged territory: Belle-Île, Douarnenez, Quiberon, Saint-Jean-du-Doigt and the Atlantic ports offer cliffs, waves, lighthouses and fields subject to rapid changes in the sky. Corn field in the Saint-Jean-du-Doigt valley combines synthetic construction and atmospheric depth. The bottom of the port of Goulphar and the Port Haliguen Lighthouse contrast the mineral mass with the movements of the water, while The Port of La Rochelle at dusk transforms quays and boats with colorful light. Maufra also practices portraiture and engraving, but his work remains dominated by landscape. Maufra also practices portraiture and engraving, but his work remains dominated by landscape.
