The 1912 B\u00e9d\u00e9lia BD-2 cyclecar by AlfvanBeem &#8211; WikiCommons<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Born in Amiens, France in 1904, Max Fourny began working as a race car driver in the 1920s. He began by driving a type of race car called the cyclecar. These types of cars were advertised as being an inexpensive solution to something in between a motorcycle and an automobile. Think those stylish older cars that are really low to the ground, with massive wheels, and you\u2019ve got the cyclecar!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">With the creation of the automobile in the late 19th century, people were looking for options that were affordable. Race car drivers were also looking for cars that were lighter and therefore faster! The cars were first used for racing in 1913 in a race organized by the Automobile Club de France, and then again for the Cyclecar GP in Le Mans in 1920. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The cyclecar boom didn\u2019t last very long, they were in production from 1911 until the early 1920s. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. Max Fourny is a prize winning race car driver<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_18644\" style=\"width: 263px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/max_fourny_en_1932.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18644\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18644\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/max_fourny_en_1932.jpg\" alt=\"Max Fourny in 1932\" width=\"253\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/max_fourny_en_1932.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/max_fourny_en_1932-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18644\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Max Fourny in 1932 by L&#8217;Auto-v\u00e9lo magazine &#8211; WikiCommons<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fourny was most successful in his racing career in the 1930s. He began racing in Bugattis when the cyclecar trend ended! He won first prize in 5 different races between 1930 and 1934, notably in the Grand Prix de Picardie in Picardie, France and the Grand Prix du Maroc in Morocco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">He came in second place in 2 races, fifth place in 2 races, and seventh and eighth place in 2 different races, respectably. He drove a Bugatti in at least 10 races!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s safe to say that Fourny had a very successful career as a race car driver. The last race he participated in was in 1947. One of the reasons that I find Fourny so interesting is that he made such a complete change in careers once he retired from racing! From 1945 to 1955, he published an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/10-reasons-to-visit-the-dali-museum-of-paris-in-montmartre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art<\/a> magazine! <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3. Max Fourny published an art magazine<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Once Fourny had said <i>adieu<\/i> to race car driving, he immersed himself in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/10-reasons-to-visit-the-dali-museum-of-paris-in-montmartre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art<\/a> world! His art magazine was called <i>Art et Industrie<\/i>, and the magazine focused on the art, art schools, different art movements at the time, and the magazine itself was filled with beautiful illustrations! The magazine also published pieces on interior design, and artists profiles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fourny also participated in the creation of the magazine <i>Prisme des Arts, <\/i>a monthly review of contemporary art. He then also helped to create another magazine, the <i>Direction de l&#8217;Art International.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s clear that Fourny threw himself into the world of art and art magazines with as much passion as he had for racing!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>4.

Fourny was also fond of folk art and outsider art, which are similar to na\u00efve art. The difference between na\u00efve art and outsider art and folk art is that na\u00efve and outsider styles aren\u2019t necessarily inspired by a certain culture or place in the world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Today, you can view Fourny\u2019s collection in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/5-stories-of-failure-from-montmartres-most-successful\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Montmartre<\/a> at the Mus\u00e9e d&#8217;Art Na\u00eff \u2013 Max Fourny, and the Mus\u00e9e international d&#8217;art na\u00eff<\/span><span class=\"s2\">&nbsp;in Vicq.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>5.
