λ PAUL LUCIEN MAZE (FRENCH/BRITISH 1887-1979), LE CHÂTEAU DE SAIN

λ PAUL LUCIEN MAZE (FRENCH/BRITISH 1887-1979) LE CHÂTEAU DE SAINT-GEORGES-MOTEL Pastel on buff paper Signed (lower right) 25 x 35cm (9¾ x 13¾in.) Le Château de Saint-Georges-Motel, situated in Northern France, was built in the early 17th Century by René de Pilliers and Charlotte de Trousseauville. Following Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough’s divorce from the 9th Duke of Marlborough in 1921, she married Colonel Jacques Balsan and they purchased the Château as a summer house, employing Maison Jensen to redesign the interior. In her autobiography, The Glitter and The Gold, Consuelo describes the Maze family staying at the Château; Here at St-George-Motel, we were privileged to become hosts to a number of friends to whom we lent small houses on the estate. This group of artists, musicians and writers centred around Paul Maze. Paul is an artist not only in oils and pastels, but also in his truly bohemian mode of life. He faced life with the same equanimity as he had during the war and lived gaily in the moulin with his Scottish wife and their two children and the six already born to her. They lived there during the summers and gathered around them painters such as Dunoyer de Segonzac, Simon Levy and the lovely Odette des Garets. (Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan, The Glitter and The Gold, New York, 1952).
