MARCEL GROMAIRE (1892-1971) was a French painter. He painted many works on social subjects and is often associated with Social Realism, but Gromaire can be said to have created an independent oeuvre distinct from groups and movements. Gromaire was born of a Belgian mother and French father in 1892 in Noyelles-sur-Sambre, France. He lacked a formal arts education and beginning in 1910 received his training by visiting artists’ studios in Paris, France. He met the pupils of the famous artist Henri Matisse and was advised by the artist Henri Le Fauconnier. Before World War I Gromaire traveled to the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and England and was influenced by expressionism as well as by the Old Masters of the Low Countries (now the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium). He served in the war and was injured in 1916. After the war Gromaire’s work became more somber and simple; he reduced his figures to bulky, rounded shapes. He exhibited one of his masterpieces La Guerre (Musée du Petit-Palais, Paris) at the Salon des Indépendants in 1925. Gromaire continued his expressionist painting into the 1930s and had an important exhibit of his works in 1933 at the Kunsthalle, Basel, Switzerland. Along with the artists Jean Lurçat and Toussaint Dubreuil, Gromaire started a movement in the late 1930s that revived French tapestry design. His dramatic use of color and composition was well suited to this type of work. He also produced graphic works and illustrated several books, including Macbeth. Gromaire’s later paintings had a looser, less stylized expression. On June 1, 2011, Marcel Gromaire’s painting, L'Après-Midi d'Été, sold for $295,176 USD at Sotheby's Paris, setting a world record for the artist.
