Originally from Montauban, Jules Oury, who later adopted the pseudonym Marcel-Lenoir, moved to Paris in 1889 at the age of seventeen. Strongly encouraged by his father, a goldsmith, to develop his artistic talents, he briefly studied at the École des Arts Décoratifs and then at the École des Beaux-Arts. He quickly turned away from goldsmithing to concentrate on painting. The art of the French and Italian primitives that he discovered in the Louvre left a deep impression on him. A great fan of Pierre Puvis de Chavanne, whose encouragement he received, he was naturally attracted by the symbolist nebula and more particularly by the esoteric universe of the Rose+Croix.
A hard worker with an innate talent for color and composition, Marcel-Lenoir produced a fertile, constantly evolving work. He made several stylistic turns, always in a modern and poetic aesthetic, and thus achieved a formidable synthesis of the pictorial innovations of his time. Remaining faithful to massive forms and vivid colors, he was interested in a variety of subjects, both secular and mystical, and participated in the revival of religious painting in the aftermath of the First World War.
A tormented artist imbued with spiritual uncertainties, Marcel-Lenoir was above all profoundly independent. His fierce condemnations of bourgeois art and official institutions were to do his critical fortune a disservice.
