Painter. Paris (13°) July 2, 1889 - Cagnes-sur-Mer December 21, 1974.
He attended the Beaux-Arts d'Amiens, at the same time as high school; he finished his studies in Lille.
Arrived on the Butte in 1911, he lived in the House of Mimi Pinson (now the site of the water tower, rue du Mont Cenis), and now devoted himself to painting.
During the war, he served with the 8th Foot Chasseurs (126th R.I.).
And in 1916, Cahours married, by proxy, Hélène, daughter of the sculptor Frédéric Debon.
After the war, the couple moved to rue Berthe, in Pissarro's studio, and became acquainted with all the painters of the Butte; it was also the year he began his stays in Douarnenez.
Cahours took part in the Salon des Artistes Français in 1920, two years later at Les Indépendants, he continued his work until 1942.
The Terrisse gallery organized an exhibition for him in 1923, as well as the Georges Petit gallery, directed by André Schoeller, in 1930 and 1931. He exhibited in many provincial towns until 1942, the year of his wife's death, he then stopped showing his works for several years.
He was however present at the travelling exhibition "Montmartre en Alger", in 1948, organized by Madeleine Horst, with the painters, old and recent, of the Butte, which was renewed in 1951, under the title "Montmartre de jadis à aujourd'hui".
It was located at 19, rue Gabrielle, at least until 1939, in a large studio. In the 1920s, Maurice Cahours was appointed Director of Fine Arts of the Commune Libre du Vieux-Montmartre.
In this capacity, he was associated with the creation of the city called "Montmartre aux Artistes", at 189 rue Ordener. The success came, he settled in the house-studio of 2bis, rue Cortot; this address appears in the catalog of the Salon des Indépendants, where he exhibited, in 1928, two works "les Brûleurs de goémon (Notre-Dame de la Joie)", and "Bénédiction de la mer à Douarnenez", as well as in that of the Salon des Artistes Français in 1930, where he presented two views of Pouldavid. Painter in the line of Marquet, he had devoted himself to the Breton marines; he had bought, around 1955, a house in Les Petites Dalles, in Normandy, where Monet had stayed in 1880.
He also painted the old streets of Montmartre.
Father Cahours, tall, slightly curved, the sailor's cap screwed on a head with angular features, and the mischievous eye, liked to call the friend he met "my son".
He was one of the outstanding figures of post-war Montmartre, a friend of Labric, Clochette, Pomme, a regular at Barbe's, a friend of Derain, d'Esparbès, Favrel and all the special characters that Montmartre seemed to attract in the 1950s.

On December 13, 1965, he had remarried Albertine Perrier (born April 4, 1926, died June 10, 1994), whom he had known in the "Grenier", at Fred Bretonnière's; she called herself Catherine; this one, in order to preserve her health, which had been damaged in the caboulots of the Butte, pushed him to retire to the South of France. He transformed the former prison of the Bishopric of Vence, built in the 15th century, into a studio, where he continued to paint, in the same tonality, seascapes of Brittany.
Every year, in September, on his return from Normandy, he stopped on the Butte to sell to friends and merchants, the marines painted on the shores of the Atlantic and the English Channel. He died in Vence at the end of 1974, at the age of 85, and not in 1954, the date that most directories insist on mentioning.

At the end of 1976, the Musée château de l'Emperi in Salon-de-Provence presented a retrospective, with a book, text by Angelo Mistrangelo, thanks to the Turin merchant Pirra, who had taken him under contract in 1972; the latter published three books on the painter, and organized a retrospective at the Musée de Montmartre (1987), with Parisot as curator.
Cahours etched 16 plates, gathered in a portofolio, under the title of Breiz-Izel (Lower Brittany), for which Marcel Aymé wrote a text that ends with "The author has been able to put in his etchings the love and sensitivity already found in his canvases, with all that engraving allows an authentic artist to bring delicacy and finish".
