Marcel Gromaire

French, 1892-1971
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.

Pablo Picasso Drawing 'Pours Mes Chers Fiancés, ' 1956
By Pablo Picasso
Located in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire
A unique vintage Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) framed, signed and inscribed title page of L'Oeuvre Gravé de Picasso dedicated and presented to the engaged couple Sylvette David and Tobias Jellinek, who married later in 1956 with original pastel sketches of the couple below a signed dedication reading 'Pour mes chers fiances' dated to the upper left corner 20.4.56. Provenance: Given by Pablo Picasso to Sylvette David and Tobias Jellinek on their engagement and who later married; thence sold to Eila Grahame. Other notes: "In 1956 the art periodical, Verve, had an image of Sylvette on the cover and Sylvette and I were given a copy. We went to see Picasso that day and took the book with us, and asked Picasso if he would sign it for us. He went and found some colored crayons and wrote the dedication, adding the little sketch of us both. The likeness of Sylvette shows how comfortable he was with producing her image, which he had previously worked with for several months. His drawing of me with my new beard is less of a likeness!" Tobias Jellinek, April 2017. Pablo Picasso had been working on a portrait of Sylvette David, aged 19, as the girl with the ponytail before doing the present cartoon sketch. "Sylvette" is the title of one of Picasso's numerous paintings featuring a young woman with a ponytail. The model for the painting, Lydia Sylvette David, also known later by her married name Lydia Corbett...
