Maurice Tabard

A Pioneer of Surrealist Vision: The Life and Art of Maurice Tabard Maurice Tabard, born in Lyon, France on July 12, 1897, emerged as a significant figure within the burgeoning Surrealist movement, though his path to artistic recognition was uniquely shaped by a blend of familial influence and transatlantic experience. Initially destined for a musical career – his mother an amateur musician – Tabard’s early creative inclinations found expression in the intricate patterns of silk design at his father's factory. This foundational exposure to form and texture would subtly inform his later photographic explorations. A pivotal moment arrived in 1914 when his father’s business necessitated a relocation to New York City, an event that irrevocably altered Tabard’s artistic trajectory.
