Marius Woulfart was born on November 7, 1905. He is the son of the Russian painter Max Wulfart. He described himself as a "sentimentalist" painter, influenced by his time but above all by the works of his father, his only master.
He died in 1991
Marcel Sauvage wrote: Woulfart, whose palette is astonishingly rich, testifies to an increasingly rare mastery; his portraits are of the first order and God knows that we have few authentic portrait painters today; its flowers make skilfully blooming fireworks. He is one of those who nourish, in strength and brilliance, with exemplary perseverance, the pictorial material for the joy and recognition of all true amateurs.
His works appear in many institutions and public collections (many purchases by the State and the City of Paris): Montreal Museum (Canada), Palm Beach Museum (Florida), museums of Tarbes, Dax, Agen, Auch, Périgueux, Angoulême, as well as in prestigious private collections both in France and abroad: Charpentier, Drouant, Florence Gould, Princess of Monaco...
