Discover the artist who befriended Churchill and enchanted English society

Описание: On Wednesday 11 March, Dreweatts is pleased to present works by the artist Paul Lucien Maze in the forthcoming Modern & Contemporary Art auction. This fascinating collection is brought to auction from the property of the late John Dru Montagu. Ahead of the sale, Maze’s biographer and friend Anne Singer reflects on his life in conversation with Tomas Starzewski.

Born in Le Havre, Maze came of age with the Impressionists in Paris, but found his feet in English high society after WWI. Maze would go on to capture the pageantry and sporting life of 20th-century Britain in his vivid pastels and paintings. He would also become friends with aristocratic figures such as Winston Churchill and John Scott, 9th Duke of Buccleuch.

In this short film, Anne Singer offers her personal insight into the life and legacy of a truly Anglo-French artist.
