PASCALE-DÉSIR MAISONNEUVE
1863-1934 (France)

BIOGRAPHY
Maisonneuve was a mosaicist and antiquaire, whose immaculate and satirical shell assemblages formed a caricature cast of royal, political and literary elites. Championed by his friend and collector, the French artist André Lhote, Maisonneuve’s humourous (and hard-to-find) masks would eventually find their way into Jean Dubuffet’s personal collection and came to symbolise the essence of art brut.
