Marcel Gromaire (Noyelles-sur-Sambre, 1892 - Paris, 1971)
Of French and Flemish origins, Marcel Gromaire became passionate about painting and, as a self-taught, he cultivated his passion. Subsequently, he perfected himself at the Montparnasse Academy and attended the atelier of Matisse's students. He was forced to interrupt the activity due to the outbreak of the First World War, during which he enlisted in the transalpine army.
In the first post-war period, his style approached that of Léger and his themes those of Matisse. His style was defined expressionistic, but Gromaire did not exclude from the spirit of his works the innovative European tendencies, so that he could approach it at the school of Lhote and La Fresnaye.
In 1937, he decorated the Pavilion of Sèvres at the Universal Exposition in Paris and began a series of tapestry cartoons, presenting himself as an innovative master of modern tapestry. He worked at the Aubusson Manufacture, along with Lurçat.
He took part in the 1959 Paris Biennial. He was also appreciated as an illustrator of books, including the Petit poèmes en prose by Baudelaire.

Marcel Gromaire
Marcel Gromaire (1892-1971) was a prominent French painter known for his powerful and distinctive style, characterized by robust forms, bold colors, and a sense of social realism. Born in Noyelles-sur-Sambre, France, Gromaire studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His early works were influenced by Cubism and Fauvism, but he later developed a unique approach that emphasized monumental figures and scenes depicting the struggles of everyday life, particularly of the working class. Gromaire's paintings often conveyed a sense of social commentary and empathy, portraying themes of labor, war, and human resilience. His use of strong outlines and simplified forms gave his compositions a dramatic and expressive quality. Gromaire's art gained recognition in the interwar period, and he continued to produce significant works throughout his career. His paintings are held in major museums and collections internationally, reflecting his enduring impact on the development of modern art in France. Marcel Gromaire passed away in Paris in 1971, leaving behind a legacy of powerful and socially engaged artwork.
