Maurice paints in Paris with his brothers Nandor and Elemer. Upon arriving in France, he changed his name from Mihaly to Maurice. He paints with a decisive touch, using bold colors in a lighter tone than his two brothers. His works often reference Hungarian themes, landscapes, and peasants in traditional costumes.
He is the uncle of the painter André Vagh-Weinmann, born in 1925. His grandson, Alain Vagh, born in 1948, is a talented ceramist. He passed away in 1986.
