λ PAUL LUCIEN MAZE (FRENCH/BRITISH 1887-1979), HENLEY REGATTA

λ PAUL LUCIEN MAZE (FRENCH/BRITISH 1887-1979) HENLEY REGATTA Pastel Signed (lower left) 52.5 x 69.5cm (20½ x 27¼in.) Provenance: Lord Ivor Spencer-Churchill (1898-1956) And by family descent It is second nature to us now to look at things as the Impressionist painters taught us to do. We are perhaps more consciously affected by Impressionism for the attitude of mind it embodies, and particularly for that feeling of a sunny, healthy, hedonistic outlook on life…. It is this sort of Impressionism which characterizes the extensive retrospective exhibition of paintings and drawings by Mr. Paul Maze…. The pleasures of life are chronicled with vivacity and evident enjoyment. Observation is swift, execution sure and prolific. Boating takes place at Henley rather than at Argenteuil, the race-meetings which call Degas so much to mind are at Goodwood or Ascot as much as at Longchamps, but it is the same charming, busy world as that of Manet, Renoir, Pissarro, Monet, and even Bonnard which inspires each picture in spite of the documentary evidence that it records a later age…. Skill in catching sun, air, and gaiety in pastel, the liveliness of his impression of British ceremonial uniforms on parade, and the effectiveness of colour and design…(The Times London, 12th May 1958, 'Review of the Exhibition of Paul Maze', O'Hana Gallery, London). This work is believed to be the artist's first pastel.
