Andre Maire was an Expressionist artist and a world traveler who created a loose, tropical style all his own. During his lifetime, Maire traveled the world over, to exotic destinations like Madagascar, Egypt, Nigeria, Laos and Vietnam, and documented his travels with a pen and brush.
Maire would eventually separate himself from other travel artists of the day by using sepia tones in his sketches to create a warmer look than charcoal alone.
Born in Paris, Maire began taking art instruction at the age of 12 at the Place des Vosges, and later at the Grand Chaumiere. During this time the artist Emile Bernard mentored him, and though he was likely to have been influenced by a number of painters, he truly was an individual in his style and subject matter.
Today, Maire’s work is housed in public and private collections worldwide, and perhaps in your own home. Still wondering about an exotic painting or sketch hanging in your home? Contact us…it could be by Andre Maire.
