About Paul Maze

  • Paul Lucien Maze (21 May 1887 – 17 September 1979) was an Anglo-French painter.
  • He is often known as β€œThe last of the Post Impressionists" and was one of the great artists of his generation.
  • His mediums included oils, watercolours and pastels and his paintings include French maritime scenes, busy New York City scenes and the English countryside.
  • He is especially noted for his quintessentially English themes: regattas, sporting events and ceremonial celebrations, such as racing at Goodwood, Henley Regatta, Trooping the Colour and yachting at Cowes. During the First World War, Maze met Winston Churchill in the trenches and their shared love of painting led to a lifelong friendship.
  • Maze became Churchill's artistic mentor, encouraging him to develop his drawing and painting techniques.
