Marcel GROMAIRE (1892-1971)
Female nude, 1956
Black ink on paper
Signed and dated upper left
Dimensions of the work : 25 x 32,5 cm
frame : 40 x 50 cm
Born in 1892 in the Nord region of France, Marcel Gromaire trained as a lawyer before attending artists' studios in Montparnasse, including the Académie Ranson, from the 1910s onwards. He was mobilised during the war and wounded in 1916. He expressed the violence of this experience through his work, in particular through the publication of drawings in the magazine "Le Crapouillot".
Influenced by Paul Cézanne, Fernand Léger and above all Henri Matisse, from whom he received advice, Marcel Gromaire had no master and did not belong to any school. He developed his own style, a characteristic geometric figuration inspired by medieval, Romanesque and Gothic art. The lines are pure, the construction rigorous, the perspective traditional. This distinctive style is reflected in the various techniques he used, including oil, engraving, illustration and tapestry. Very attached to the subject, his art was classical and realistic, in opposition to the abstraction that was developing at the time. He painted the modern city, men and the female nude.
During these years, he was supported by Docteur Girardin, who acted as his patron. On Girardin's death, 78 pieces by Marcel Gromaire from his collection were bequeathed to the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. In 1937, on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition, the State commissioned Marcel Gromaire to create a mural decoration for the pavilion of the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres. From 1939 to 1944, he was one of the leading figures in the renewal of tapestry in Aubusson, alongside Jean Lurçat. His undeniable fame led him to become a professor at the École des arts décoratifs in Paris from 1950 to 1968.
The work we present here is typical of this artist's output. Firstly in its subject, the female nude, which he was particularly fond of, and secondly in its style: a strict geometric construction from which emerges a discreet sensuality.

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.
