Maury Jean-Pierre

Jean-Pierre Maury is a Belgian painter, born in Uccle in 1948. He studied journalism and political science at the Université libre de Bruxelles. Largely self-taught as a painter, he nevertheless completed a short period of training at the Saint-Luc Institute in Brussels, where he later became a teacher himself. His work is characterised by a strict, geometrically structured formal language and gradually evolved towards constructivism. He also collaborated with architects and integrated several monumental works into architectural settings. In 1988, he co-founded the journal Mesures art international together with J.P. Husquinet, J. Delahaut and V. Noël. In 1971, he was awarded the Prix de la Jeune Peinture Belge. His work can be found, among other places, in the Print Room in Brussels. He is listed in BAS I and in Two Centuries of Signatures of Belgian Artists. (Piron)
