  A graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Paris, Maurice Colasson began his career in cinema as an assistant to Georges Wakhévitch.
He was also a theater designer.

In 1937, Maurice Colasson built his first sets for the cinema, those of Prison without bars by Léonide Moguy. His naturalistic approach to beings and things allowed him to work for directors like Yves Allégret (Dédée d'Anvers, 1947; Une si pretty petite plage, 1948), Marcel Pagliero (Un homme marche dans la ville, 1949; Les amants du Bras-Mort, 1950; The Red Rose, 1950). He also created the sets for the films of Jean Dréville (La Reine Margot, 1954; Les Suspects, 1956; La Fayette, 1961), Marguerite Duras and Paul Seban (Lamusica, 1966), and Terence Young (Mayerling, 1967).

Of a reserved character, passionate about painting, he never wanted to be exhibited. Preferring to offer some of his works to his acquaintances in the world of cinema or to his close circle
