About the Item

Paul Lucien Maze, an Anglo-French painter, was renowned as one of the great artists of his generation. Known as “The last of the Post Impressionists", Maze utilized oils, watercolours and pastels, his subjects varied from French maritime scenes to busy New York City scenes and the serene English countryside. It is worth noting that Maze and Winston Churchill crossed paths during the First World War while serving in the trenches. They bonded over their mutual interest in painting and went on to develop a lasting friendship. Maze acted as Churchill's artistic mentor, inspiring him to develop his drawing and painting techniques.

Working until the year before his death at age 89, he painted landscapes, still life, and portraits in a style that others, but not he, labelled Impressionist. At age 10, he saw his first professional art work at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition in Omaha, and this exposure set the direction of his life. A year later, he returned with his parents to Germany from where his family had emigrated, and in 1907, he enrolled for seven years of study at the Dusseldorf Academy, known for its instruction in genre and history painting. However, Impressionist Adolf Munzer...
