Maurice Brianchon

Represented Estate

b. 1899, Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, France

d. 1979, Paris, France

The early work of Maurice Brianchon is characterized by vivid, figurative paintings of horse races, theater stages, and Paris street scenes, while his later work embraced the relaxed, contemplative landscapes and still lifes of Truffières, Brianchon and Louppe’s country home in Dordogne. Brianchon achieved early artistic success—by 1927 he had his first solo exhibition, and in 1934 he represented France at the Venice Biennale. Working widely between public commissions, theater, ballet, and opera design, and book illustrations, Brianchon also received two major retrospectives: in 1951 at the Musée des Art Décoratifs in the Louvre, and in 1962 at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Neuchatel.
