Very Beautiful Painting 1960 Oil on Wood Maurice Vagh-Weinmann Portrait of a Man

  

Maurice Vagh-Weinmann is a Hungarian painter, engraver, illustrator, and lithographer born on August 20, 1899, in Budapest. He paints in an expressionist style and belongs to the first School of Paris. As a member of a family of ten children, Maurice pursued a career as a painter just like two of his brothers. He paints in Paris with his brothers Nandor and Elemer. Upon arriving in France, he Frenchified 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 painter André Vagh-Weinmann, born in 1925. His grandson, Alain Vagh, born in 1948, is a talented ceramist.
