Marcel Gromaire
Tavern - Etching by Marcel Gromaire - 1952

1952

About the Item

Tavern is a black and white etching on paper, realized in 1952 by Marcel Gromaire (1892-1971). Monogrammed on plate on the lower left corner. Good conditions except for some foxings. This beautiful print represents a group of people seating in a tavern in a very fresh language and a naive style. Marcel Gromaire (Noyelles-sur-Sambre, 1892 - Paris, 1971) Of French and Flemish origins, the artist 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. He was forced to interrupt the activity due to the outbreak of the World War I, 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 use them 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.

  • 'Pierrot's Lament', Post-Impressionist, Paris Salon, Centre Pompidou, NY MoMA
    By Arbit Blatas
    Located in Santa Cruz, CA
    Signed lower right, 'Arbit Blatas' (Lithuanian, 1908-1999) and with number and limitation, '123/195', lower left. Lithuanian born, Arbit Blatas first studied in Paris at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere and, subsequently, at the Academie Julian. He was a member of the Salon d'Automne where he also exhibited. Other exhibition venues included the Carnegie Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy, the Santa Barbara Museum and the Rhode Island School of Design. An artist of great range, his vivid colors and joie de vivre extend through his entire canon of paintings: landscapes, portraits and still-lives. The distinguished French art critic, Jean Bouret, summed the artist up in this way: "He is color, his palette is color, exuberant and sensual, as is the man." On the other end of Blatas' artistic spectrum, the noted Italian art historian Enzo di Martini wrote of the Monument of the Holocaust: "In complete contrast to his paintings, these bronzes are hammered and chiseled in anger and tragedy." In 1929 he began to exhibit regularly at the Salon D'Automne and the Salon des Tuileries in Paris. At the age of twenty-one, he became the youngest member of the School of Paris and a friend and colleague to many of the great figures in the Parisian art world such as Vlaminck, Utrillo, Soutine, Picasso, Derain and Matisse. Blatas eventually painted or sculpted them all and his forty-nine portraits in oil and bronze are considered a unique document of that period in Paris. The artist exhibited regularly in the principal galleries of New York, Paris and London. His works are also included in some of the most valued private international art collections. Sheet dimensions: 25.5 x 19 inches.
