Henri MALFROY or Malfroy-Savigny.
Painter of seascapes and landscapes. Post-Impressionist.
Born January 15, 1895 in Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône) / Died in 1942.
He trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Charles Malfroy, who may have been his father and with whom he is often confused.
He exhibited regularly in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français and the Salon des Indépendants until 1934.
Adopting a technique close to Impressionism, he painted the coasts and ports of Bouches-du-Rhône and Var, as well as landscapes of Paris and the banks of the Seine.
Settling in Martigues, he broadened his brushstrokes and brightened his compositions, moving closer to Provençal landscape painters such as Ziem.
