Also known as
André Jules Maire, Maire, André
André Maire (1898–1984) was a French painter, watercolorist, draftsman, and illustrator. Authority records consistently identify him across French and international library systems, while biographical summaries connect his formal education with André Devambez at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and emphasize the influence of Émile Bernard. The available sources do not securely assign Maire to a formal movement or school, so his work is better understood through his media, teachers, and geographic experience than through a fixed stylistic label. He spent an extended period in Indochina, and an institutional exhibition record documents drawings and gouaches devoted to Pondicherry and India. Collectors may therefore encounter both geographically specific works on paper and paintings connected with his later French practice. Appraisily’s collected input associates his name with 316 auction records, indicating a meaningful secondary-market presence while still requiring careful identification of medium, subject, date, and authorship for each object.

Common works and media
Auction and appraisal contexts may include paintings, watercolors, gouaches, drawings, and illustrated material. Documented subjects include Pondicherry and India, while a museum-held oil depicts the vicinity of Semur-en-Auxois. Works on paper should be classified carefully by medium, and illustrated books or reproduced images should not be treated as equivalent to unique drawings or paintings without object-level examination.
Market and appraisal context
Works attributed to André Maire can differ substantially in format and context. The documented body of work includes paintings, watercolors, gouaches, drawings, and illustration, with Pondicherry, India, and the broader Indochina experience providing an important context for some material. An appraisal should distinguish original paintings and works on paper from illustrated publications or other reproduced material. Secure attribution, medium, dimensions, condition, provenance, subject, and date should be assessed alongside comparable public auction records, their sale dates, and realized prices. The collected source pack does not provide detailed major-auction-house results, so it does not support a price forecast, market trend, or universal value range.
