From Askart.com: Influenced by such rich and varied sources as Cranach, Delacroix, Matisse, and Klee and inspired by his friend Jacques Prevert, Max Papart (1911-1994) did work intended to open a window into a world that provokes as much thought as pleasure. Subjects include sunny landscapes of the South of France as well as witty collaged portraits. Working in a Cubist style, he depicted circus scenes, flirting couples, soaring birds, and other cheerful subjects with flat, overlapping planes of contrasting colors and textures which suggest many levels of depth. He often achieved what has been called a time window effect, through which the viewer senses the past or future. Papart's work is widely recognized by critics and connoisseurs alike. Since his first one-man show in 1946, he had over 300 museum and gallery exhibitions around the globe, and is the subject of dozens of books and catalogues.
From Artnet.com: The artist died on August 29, 1994 in Paris, France. Today, Papart's works are in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and the National Gallery in London, among others. From Masterworksfineart: French painter Max Papart studied printmaking in Paris and explored etching with carborundum, a technique much favored by Joan Miro. Known for composing rather than painting, and worked in a semi-cubist style. Many of his original signed paintings and drawings present the viewer with a window onto a different world. One of the most intriguing intellectual concepts which Papart achieves in his two-dimensional, semi-cubistic style is a window through which the viewer senses the past or future, or even another time or place. This development has become more pronounced since 1981 and in recent years it is seen even more graphically in such works as Circle, Indian Summer, Dreams, and Silent Woman. It has been said that Papart does not paint, he composes. His compositions come together in a symphony of line, shape and color. Papart contends that he never attributes any specific meaning to his work. He feels that each painting has its own meaning and needs no interpretation from him. Papart's paintings, in his own words, force the viewer to think, and it is for the viewer to respond to the art based on his own personal experiences.Condition
