Max Papart (1911-1994) was a French painter, engraver, illustrator and collagist, born in Marseille and died in Paris. After a brief period at the Beaux-Arts in Marseille, he mostly educated himself. Based in Paris in the 1930s, he worked as a printer and began to exhibit and practice etching.

After World War II, he drew closer to poets such as Jacques Prévert and Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes, for whom he illustrated some works. His style gradually evolved from post-C Cubism toward a colorful abstraction, blending painting, printmaking, collage and mixed media techniques.

internationally recognized artist, he exhibited in Europe, the United States and Canada. He was notably awarded the title of Officer of Arts and Letters. His work is characterized by geometric compositions, harmonious colors and a synthesis between figuration and abstraction.
