Andr\u00e9 Jules Maire, born in Paris on September 28, 1898 and died in the same city on October 4, 1984, was a French painter.<\/p>\n

His father Charles Louis Maire soon sent his son Andr\u00e9 to the drawing school on the Place des Vosges, where he was introduced to \u00c9mile Bernard by the poet Rodet. \u00c9mile Bernard became the young painter’s mentor. He entered Andr\u00e9 Devambez’s studio and the \u00c9cole nationale sup\u00e9rieure des beaux-arts, then the Grande-Chaumi\u00e8re, where he met engraver Albert Decaris, sculptor Prost and painter Roger Nivelt.<\/p>\n

In 1916, Andr\u00e9 Maire made his first visit to Tonnerre, where he stayed with the master. Mobilized to the front at the end of 1917, he ended the war in the colonial infantry on Bernard’s advice, which confirmed his penchant for distant horizons. On each of his trips, Maire brought back the documentation he needed to work in his studio.<\/p>\n

His first trip was to Indochina in 1918-1919, where he became a drawing teacher in Saigon, before returning to France and marrying \u00c9mile Bernard’s daughter Ir\u00e8ne in Venice in October 1922. In October 1921 in Italy, where he stayed in Venice and ran his own gallery, in Spain, India and Africa, Andr\u00e9 Maire travelled the world armed with paper, pencils and brushes.<\/p>\n

Mobilized during the Second World War, Maire escaped the prison camps and returned to Burgundy. In 1946, he was awarded the Grand Prix de l’AOF, which enabled him to travel to Mali, C\u00f4te d’Ivoire, Dahomey and Senegal. After ten years in Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam), where he was appointed professor of drawing and modeling at the \u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure d’Architecture in Hanoi, he left Indochina for good in 1958. That same year, he was awarded a scholarship to Madagascar, which he returned to in January 1959.<\/p>\n

After a final trip to Madagascar and Martinique (in 1968, he was awarded the La Martinique scholarship, founded in 1940), Andr\u00e9 Maire ended his life painting landscapes and women between Paris and Semur-en-Auxois, where he lived. His work in France is also very important, having painted and sketched Paris, Marseille, Avignon, Normandy and, of course, Burgundy with the Auxois (Prix Bastien Lepage from the Acad\u00e9mie des Beaux-arts, in 1961, for a work in France).<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
