Maurice Grün

French 1869-1947 

Maurice Grün, born in 1870, was a Russian artist. He first studied at the Beaux-Arts in Munich before moving to Paris in 1890 to attend the Académie Julian. It was there that he became a pupil of Jules Lefebvre and Benjamin Constant, receiving the Academy medal for his work. Following his studies, he travelled to the United States and then to Brazil, where he briefly settled and was appointed as a teacher at the Beaux-Arts de Salvador da Bahia. He later returned to France in 1896 and eventually settled in Concarneau. He was naturalised French on June 15, 1910. He exhibited at numerous Parisian Salons from 1906 to 1939, and his work is held in museums and private collections internationally.
