PROVENANCE

the collection of the painter Gheorghe Zamphiropol-Dall

Max Hermann Maxy's first solo exhibition took place in 1918 in Iași. The year 1920 found him in Bucharest, opening another personal exhibition. The 1920s represented a fruitful period in the artist's creation, often sliding from an integralist style towards international avant-garde. During this period, Maxy collaborated with the most important local publications. His name is undeniably linked to the beginnings of Cubism in Romania, but his debut found him attracted to the realism practiced by his masters, Camil Ressu and Iosif Iser. During the First World War, Maxy was enlisted in the army, thus he would use part of his detachment time to draw and paint, being inspired by the villages he passed through. He arrived in Bucharest at the recommendation of Nicolae Tonitza, as a result of the delegations made to Iași. Once in Bucharest, he penetrated the circle of Alexandru Bogdan Pitești. He thus came to create, like many other painters before him, in the famous rural settlement of Vlaici. Most of the time, during this period he exhibited alongside Ștefan Dimitrescu, Camil Ressu or Nicolae Dărăscu.
