Maxime Maufra was a French landscape and marine painter; etcher and lithographer. He first began painting at 18 but didnrsquo;t fully embrace his painting career right away. Being a businessman; he only painted on his spare time from 1884 to 1890. During this time; Maufra discovered the work of the Impressionists and was able to display his works at the Paris Salon of 1886. In 1890; Maufra decided to give up commerce and to become a full-time painter. He left Nantes for Brittany; where he was able to meet Paul Gauguin and Paul Seacute;rusier. Maufra had his first solo exhibition in Paris in 1894; at Le Barc de Toutteville. In his paintings; Maufra sometimes quoted the pointillisit technique of Pissarro or Sisley; and also took from the strong colors and powerful drawing of the Pont Aven School. However; Maufra stayed an independent artist his all life through; and dedicated his art to recording the beauty of nature.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. great potos but not great textBy ChristyThe text assumes certain things about the mother-child relationship. Things like assuming you look alike; have the same nose; etc. My mom and I and my son and I have lots in common; but not in the looks department. There are other such assumptions throughout the book that make it seem a phony gift for me to give my mother; since it clearly could never really apply to us. If the text were more general; it would apply to more mom-child relationships. I recommend reading it cover to cover (there are not many pages) before purchasing; just to be sure its an accurate description of the relationship.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
