Max Papart was a French Cubist Artist whose paintings and graphics are suffused with sunny humor and bright colors resulting from his spiritual affinities with many styles and schools of art. Elements of Etruscan, archaic European, African, and pre-Columbian art all lead to the semi-figurative style he is most noted for. Max Papart is probably best known for his cubist style in which he depicts circus scenes, flirting couples, soaring birds, and similar cheerful subjects with flat, overlapping planes of contrasting colors and textures which suggest many levels of depth. For all their decorative gaiety, his works also force the viewer to think. As the noted critic André Parinaud put it, "We are going to rediscover Max Papart as one of the masters of the second cubist generation."
