BIOGRAPHY

Maxime Boulard de Villeneuve (French, 1883-1971)
Born in Paris, Boulard de Villeneuve was inspired by the revolutionary artistic movements happening during his youth. His early work was highly influenced by French Impressionists and Fauvists before he settled into his signature style of landscapes and city scapes that were defined as Post-Impressionist. His paintings depicted the poetic atmosphere of landscapes in Montmorency, Deuil, Villefranche, and Nice.
He held a studio in Montmartre, the center of Paris salons, in the early 1900s. He exhibited work at the Paris Salon from 1922-1939 as well as the Salon des Independants in 1926. After his death, Wally Findlay gallery organized a restrospective of the artists work in 1975 at their gallery in Palm Beach, Florida.
