About the artist:
Marcel Mouly was born in Paris on 6th February 1918. He was a French painter and printmaker.
In 1931, at the age of 13, Mouly left school and started work. In 1935, he began taking night classes at an art Academy in the Montparnasse district of Paris until he was conscripted into the French military in 1938. In 1940, during the occupation of France, Mouly returned to civilian life and, along with fellow artist Vichy Edouard Pignon, rented the Boulogne studio of famed modernist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973) who introduced Mouly to Cubism.
In 1945 Mouly's paintings were exhibited (alongside paintings by Matisse) at the Salon d'Automne in Paris, he took part in the open art forums of the Ecole de Boulogne, and studied with Leger, Pignon, and Bertin. The following year, he exhibited at the Salon du Mai. By the mid-1940s, Mouly's art began to gain notoriety from his peers and collectors and his first solo exhibition was held at the Libraire Bergamesque in 1949. By the mid 1950s Mouly was an established painter with his own unique style. He then began to work as a printmaker.
The work of Marcel Mouly is held in more than 20 museums, including
in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, Japan and Helsinki, the Museum of Geneva and Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale. He has also been the subject of numerous books, and recognized by such honors as the Chevalier de L'Orde des Arts et Lettres (1957) and the Premier Prix de Lithographie (1973). Mouly is also famed to been the last surviving student of Pablo Picasso.
The art historian and writer Joseph Jacobs wrote (of Mouly's work) "It is an art about beauty and life, an art about the more familiar and comfortable world we live in and know. In this respect, Mouly is quintessentially French, his roots firmly planted in the School of Paris. Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Rouault, Vlaminck, Chagall, Vuillard, and Dufy are his patrimony, and he has carried their mantel with unflagging dedication."

Marcel Mouly
A winner of two of France’s highest honors, the Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et Lettres in 1957 and the Premier Prix de Lithographie in 1973, artist Marcel Mouly was associated with Fauvism and found inspiration in the Cubism of Pablo Picasso and the intense colors associated with the work of Henri Matisse. He began his journey to stardom within the dark confines of a German prison cell during the Second World War.
While Mouly studied drawing classes as a youth, it was not until he was placed in solitary confinement that he decided to dedicate his life to pursuing art.
Mistaken for a spy during WWII, Mouly was traveling through Normandy when he was questioned by German soldiers about his identity. He was subsequently imprisoned by the occupying forces in France and was released in 1943. Once free, he met French artist Edouard Pignon, with whom Mouly rented famous sculptor Jacques Lipchitz’s Boulogne studio. Mouly studied under Lipchitz and had his first showing of two paintings at the Salon d'Automne, alongside French painter, Henri Mattise.
In 1948, the French government acquired his Femme à la Lampe, and a flurry of exhibitions followed in Italy, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere. Mouly’s work is held in the collections of more than 20 museums including the Musée Nationale d’Art Moderne, the Museum of Modern Art, Bibliothèque Nationale and the Los Angeles County Museum.
