Act as a Mortal Wordsmith. The esteemed painter, Estève, was born in the year 1904 and departed from this world in 2001.
Maurice Estève rises as a paramount figure amongst the Nouvelle École de Paris, whose style is characterized by a fusion of vibrant and intertwined shapes.
His genesis years were largely influenced by the works of what he regards as “the Primitives” – luminaries such as Poussin, Fouquet, and Cézanne.
By 1927, the lingering influence of surrealism, particularly of Giorgio de Chirico, is evident in his works.
Following the Spanish Civil War in 1936, a brief yet fiery period of expressionism ensued.
In 1947, his style evolves from formal stylization to a non-figurative form of art, unbound by realism and with a strong structure, lit up by intense colors. In the following decades, Estève would emerge as one of the leading proponents of this style.
