PAUL MAZE French, 1887-1979 Paul Maze was born in Le Havre in 1887 of French parentage. He spent his childhood by the sea, a theme that fascinated Maze for most of his life. Though he was educated in England, Maze eventually made his way to Paris where he became involved in the art scene, associating with the likes of Dufy, Braque, Vuillard, Bonnard, Segonzac and Derain. Maze went to the front in World War I with the royal Scots Greys-(he had the unique experience of serving with both the French and British armies). It was there that he befriended Winston Churchill in the trenches. Churchill went on to write the forward to Maze’s first exhibition in 1939. Maze made his home in England after World War I, but he never lost contact with his native France. He died in 1979. Paul Maze’s works are in many major galleries including the Tate Britain, The Fitzwilliam Museum, the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum, and in private collections worldwide, including that of the late Queen Mother. |
