Provenance: Sotheby's New York, 3/17/1994, lot 81A. Bonhams, 11/8/2023, Lot 90. Private Collection, Beverly Hills, CA Maurice Braun (1877 - 1941) was active/lived in California, New York / Hungary. Maurice Braun is known for Landscape, portrait and-still life painting. An established California plein-air painter in the Impressionist style, Maurice Braun painted landscapes reflecting moods of nature and his skill of showing the varying effects of light put San Diego into the national art scene. He was born in Nagy Bittse, Hungary, and immigrated to New York City in 1881 when he was four years old. He showed early art talent and interest and as a youngster, copying works of art at the Metropolitan Museum. From 1897 to 1902, he studied at the Academy of Design and then for one year with William Merritt Chase at the Chase School, which became the New York School. In 1902, he went to Europe, painting in Austria, Germany, and Hungary. He became a noted portrait and figure painter in New York but felt confined by subject matter. Then in 1910, attracted to the California landscape as a subject for his painting, he moved to San Diego and from his studio on Point Loma painted the French Impressionist influenced landscapes for which he became known. He was initially drawn to California because of an active Theosophical Society of which he had been a member since college and which espoused the merging of truths common to all religions. A special part of that religion was light as metaphor, a technique that he perfected in his painting. In 1912, he founded the San Diego Academy of Art and was its director for many years, although he returned to the East in 1921 and established studios in New York City, Silvermine, and Old Lyme, Connecticut. Several years later he returned to San Diego but from 1924 to 1929, continued to spend part of each year in the East. In 1929, he became one of the founders of the Contemporary Artists of San Diego, and he was also active in art circles in San Francisco and Los Angeles and exhibited with the California Art Club. He traveled and painted in the Southwest including the Grand Canyon.

Maurice Braun Chromolithograph "Hills of California"
Est: $900 - $1,350
Maurice Braun (Kingdom of Hungary-born, American, 1877-1941). "Hills of California" chromolithograph on paper, ca. 1910. Hand-signed at lower right; titled on verso. A beautiful chromolithograph by American artist Maurice Braun titled "Hills of California," rendered in his signature Impressionist style and mounted in a lovely, wooden period frame. The scene presents the rolling hills of California beside a tranquil lake with majestic, purple mountains rising in the background, all beneath an idyllic, cloudy blue sky. The lush landscape is dotted with forest and spring green underbrush as well as trees whose foliage has just begun to turn the russet and gold hues of autumn. All is delineated with loose, Impressionist brushstrokes and a keen eye for the effects of light and color. A marvelous chromolithograph by Maurice Braun, an American Impressionist best known for his southern Californian landscapes. Size of chromolithograph: 29" W x 17.5" H (73.7 cm x 44.4 cm); of frame: 34.75" W x 22.75" H (88.3 cm x 57.8 cm) About the artist: "Born in Hungary in 1877, Maurice Braun immigrated with his family to New York when he was four years old. He studied at the National Academy of Fine Arts from 1897-1900, and the following year with William Merritt Chase. After a six-month trip to Europe in 1902, Braun returned to New York where he began his artistic career as a figure and portrait painter. Seven years later, however, Braun had become more interested in landscape painting. This interest, as well as his commitment to Theosophy, a discipline that aimed to balance all religions with the natural and spiritual world, inspired the artist to move to San Diego. Southern Californias dramatic mountains, vast ocean and brilliant colors epitomized a kind of natural paradise for Braun and he captured the landscape and atmospheric light in an impressionistic style."

Maurice Braun Painting - Lush Trees
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Maurice Braun (American, 1877-1941). Oil on board, early 20th century. Signed at lower right. A delightful landscape painting by California plein-air painter Maurice Braun, rendered in his signature Impressionist style. The scene presents an idyllic summer's day with a leafy deciduous tree of thick meandering branches in the foreground followed by verdant shrubberies and lush foliage in the background, all beneath a pale blue sky. The light pink and yellow of the sandy ground contrasts its blossoming surroundings, diametrically opposing the sky, while bright hues of tangerine, lemon, and crimson and deep tones of navy and violet underscore the areas of light and shadow throughout the piece. All is delineated with loose, Impressionist brushstrokes and a keen eye for the effects of light and color. A marvelous painting by Maurice Braun, an American Impressionist best known for his southern Californian landscapes. Size: 10" W x 8" H (25.4 cm x 20.3 cm) About the artist: "An established California plein-air painter in the Impressionist style, Maurice Braun painted landscapes reflecting moods of nature and his skill of showing the varying effects of light put San Diego into the national art scene. He was born in Nagy Bittse, Hungary, and immigrated to New York City in 1881 when he was four years old. He showed early art talent and interest and as a youngster, copying works of art at the Metropolitan Museum. From 1897 to 1902, he studied at the Academy of Design and then for one year with William Merritt Chase at the Chase School, which became the New York School. In 1902, he went to Europe, painting in Austria, Germany, and Hungary.
