Description from the seller
Oil on board depicting the portrait of a young man signed
Max Léon MOREAU (1902-1992)
Max Léon Moreau (1902-1992) was a Belgian painter and watercolorist, born September 2, 1902 in Soignies and died September 7, 1992 in Granada. Son of the painter Henri Moreau, he studied in Brussels, then devoted himself to portrait and genre scenes of orientalist inspiration.
Career: five trips to Tunisia from 1929, three years in Marrakech after the war; regular exhibitions in Tunis, Algiers, Casablanca and Paris (Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, 1951).
Style: realism blended with Orientalism — portraits of Moroccan women, souk scenes, still lifes and Paris street scenes.
End of life: settled permanently in Granada; Parkinson's disease from 1982 onward, ending his exhibition activity.
Legacy: the Casa Museo Max Moreau is dedicated to him in Granada.
