The oeuvre of Maurice Góth is that of a cosmopolitan. Born in Hungary to a wealthy landowner, he attended the academies of Munich, Vienna, Paris and Bruges, and traveled to the United States in 1913. From Panne in Belgium, where he stayed with his family in 1914, he fled to the neutral Netherlands at the outbreak of the war and ended up in Middelburg. There he became acquainted with Jan Toorop. For the next 15 years Domburg was the permanent residence of the painter and his family. Beach, coast and dunes, smoothly and colorfully depicted, were his favorite subjects at that time. Later Góth settled in Veere. His daughter Sárika, who was born in Vienna, also painted.
