Max Savy, French, 1918 to 2010, oil painting on canvas depicting a harbour scene with boats. Signed lower right. Framed. Max Savy is known for Folk art style painting of village architecture, figures in landscape, marine scenes. Born in 1918 in Albi, Max Savy is a Carcassonne resident by adoption, having spent his entire adult life there. The Minervois and the Corbieres audoises are the setting for most of his subjects. In the 1940s, Joe Bousquet, cloistered in his invalids room on rue de Verdun in Carcassonne, received a circle of surrealist artists and writers, Max Ernst, Hans Bellmer, Rene Nelli, Paul Eluard, etc. The young Carcassonne talents, Charles Pierre Bru, Jean Camberoque and Max Savy were nourished and influenced by this source of modernity. Before the themes that made Savy famous, the land and rural life, the latter had a pictorial production and an engraved work strongly marked by the surrealist spirit. His talents as a draftsman, his precise line and his keen eye are reminiscent of Bellmer. Modern European Fine Art, Seascape and Marine Paintings, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.
