He was born in Paris, the son of a conversation though open-minded middle-class family. His father runs the family business of optical equipment but he's also a theatre lover, an author and a poet. He gives his son a strict education and the boy will feel closer to his mother. Pierre De Maria will become a honest, straightforward man, uncompromising to himself and the others. He is very particular about his appearance and, as a child of the "Belle époque" takes up to a kind of dandysm. A cousin of his, Jacques Camoreyt (a pupil of Albert Maignan) teaches him how to master pictorial techniques along with the rather academic education in Arts he is going through. From 1907 to 1914 he is a student at the Lycée Condorcet, first graduates in science and languages, then at the Engineering College just before World War 1. The sight of atrocities will leave a deep scar in his memory. He has a miraculous escape from the war and finds a job in the family firm. He soon realizes he hates everything related to engineering and decides to launch on into painting. He works as a scene painter with Ronsin and Laverdet workshop and on stage with "avant-garde" drama companies. In the same time, he shows his work at the "Salon d'Automne" in 1923 an gets a honour prize in the modern painting department. In 1925 he takes up to boxing and creates some polychromatic facades with Djo Bourgeois, then gets into the Art Deco trend as an architect and a decorator. Henri-Pierre Roché, a writer (Jules et Jim) a painter and an art collector close to the cubists has already discovered talents ( Brancusi, Wols…) and takes an in interest in Pierre De Maria. Autoportrait Environ 1960 In 1926 (the "Années Folles "in Paris) Pierre De Maria meets Marcel Duchamp, Brancusi and the surrealist gang he enjoys but never joins. « They were friends and I was curious but I never liked the hint of complaisance I saw in their work. » He then starts some technical research an collages as shown in his first exhibition of "pasted gouaches" in Princess'Murat 's gallery in Paris. (« Fermé la nuit ») « I never thought I'd make money with my paintings. I took to painting as I would have taken holy orders » He works as a journalist for Marianne and Vu magazines (1932-1933) and writes a detailed report about the Maelström in Norway and the soviet Movies. He has the opportunity to meet Eisenstein and Poudovkine in Sovietic Russia and thinks of making a name for himself in the Movie industry. In 1939 Pierre De Maria meets Germaine Pellegrino who becomes his wife a year later. They'll have two sons : Jacques born 1942 and François born 1943. The family settle in Geneva at the end of 1943. During those years he writes an unpublished autobiographical novel («Tir à volonté») as well as a collection of thoughts about various topics such as war. He also writes poems and a play (as his father had done) «Cornelius'death», in a rather humorous manner. « He who conveys the opinion of fools makes certain to get the majority of votes ». In 1944 he is back in Paris, leaving his wife. He'll settle in Nice in 1953 and starts there his mechanical period with the recurrent theme of machinery in his painting. In 1958 he has his second exhibition in Paris (JC de Chaudun's gallery) and shows a series of lino-engravings done after some drawings of his: he then begins being acknowledged by his contemporaries, his fellow-painters and the Parisian artistic circle. Jacques Prévert even dedicated him a poem. («Les Machinoutis») Henri Pierre Roché, Henri-Pieyre de Mandiargues, Yves Taillandier contribute to the catalogue, well received by the press. In the meantime, he has his works exhibited at the Salon d'Automne, the Salon de Mai, and the Salon Comparaison. In 1963, Flemish wood-engraver Frans Masereel, and Professor Gowa, the curator of the Offenbach Fine Arts, both introduce Pierre De Maria successfully in Germany, allowing him to become famous abroad. The Homo Atomicus Exhibition gathers 45 paintings, recounting the artist'progress over the past ten years. He's then nicknamed the «Atomic age Hyperonymus Bosch» ! In 1964, Greek gallery owner Iris Clert finds him out and helps him into a new career. He is then 68. Iris Clert, as a specialist in Contemporary Art has contributed to the coming out of the New Realism movement through her most spectacular and mediatical exhibitions. She takes a fancy to Pierre De Maria 's work : « The visit of his studio turned my love at first sight into a cutainty : he uses the technique from the Ancients to express Future. » Afterwards, both get into intense collaboration so that the painter is allowed to use the gallery owner's european and international net. In 1966, his work's dedicated a research published in Connaissance des Arts Magazine n° 70 : » A foreground study of Pierre De Maria in this month issue ». Later an article in International Art. In 1969 he turns 73 and he can see his first retrospective exhibition in Nice at the Ponchettes Gallery (about 60 paintings). At 76, he meets artist Hélène Bottet, from then on allowing humour to take over violence in his art. Machines don't frighten him anymore, he's now able to mock them even through they remain at the core of his paintings, in spite of the mechanical Art...

Oil on canvas, signed lower left Georges Gaston Arnulf est un peintre et graveur français, né à Monte-Carlo (Monaco) le 23 mars 1921 et mort le 19 novembre 1996 au Thillay. Georges Arnulf est originaire d'une ancienne famille niçoise. Il est le neveu de Gaston Arnulf, ancien conseiller général, et le fils d'un ancien hôtelier niçois. Il fait toutes ses études au lycée de Monaco et au lycée de Nice. Après avoir suivi les cours de dessin et de décoration à l'École nationale des arts décoratifs de Nice, où il est l'élève de Jules Henri Lengrand, il est reçu en 1946 à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris, présenté par Pierre-Henri Ducos de La Haille le 30 octobre 1947, il y fréquente les ateliers de fresque et de gravure. Il entre chez le taille-doucier Robert Cami où il continue son apprentissage du burin1, de l'eau-forte, de la manière noire. Il obtient en 1950 le premier grand prix de Rome de gravure en taille douce2 et il est missionné pour réaliser l'étiquette de la bouteille du Château Mouton Rothschild 19503. Pensionnaire à la villa Médicis à Rome pendant trois ans et demi4, il voyage et grave au burin l'illustration d'une édition de luxe des sonnets de Shakespeare traduits en français par François-Victor Hugo, préfacé par André Maurois (éditions Henri Javal, 1954). Revenu à Paris en 1955, il réalise la mise en page et l'illustration au burin et à l'aquatinte d'un livre de poèmes de Philippe de Rothschild, Éclos à l'aube. En 1956 il part pour le Liban comme conseiller artistique et technique de l'Imprimerie catholique de Beyrouth, au cours de cette période il effectue différents séjours en Égypte et en Asie mineure. En 1957, il signe un contrat comme conseiller artistique attaché au service des publications du ministère de la Culture en Colombie. Il est chargé par ailleurs de la conception et de la réalisation de 20 vitraux destinés à l'église coloniale San Francisco de Bogotà, qu'il mène à bien selon la technique traditionnelle avec l'aide d'un maitre-verrier. Il exécute aussi les fresques de l'hôtel Tonchalà à Cucuta et dirige la restauration de 200 tableaux appartenant aux diverses églises de l'époque coloniale colombienne. Il devient par la suite directeur artistique des éditions de la compagnie Seguros Colombia et de la banque Banco de construccion y desarrollo à Bogotà. Attiré par l'immensité et la diversité des paysages colombiens, il visite les Llanos, l'Amazonie et les régions les plus reculées du Magdalena et du Huila : San Augustin et Tierradentro, vastes zones archéologiques, d'où il rapporte de nombreux croquis de sculptures monumentales et de fresques des nécropoles, qui viennent compléter ceux pris au musée national et au musée de l'or de Bogota. Ce long travail est à l'origine de la collection des Estampes précolombiennes, à laquelle il se consacre dès son retour en France en 1966, et dont le premier volume paru en avril 1967 est présenté à la galerie-librairie de Gérard Mourgue à Paris5. La même année, pour se détendre du travail minutieux de la gravure, il réalise une fresque dans le patio de la villa Joya d'Alexandre Reza à Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Il est alors nommé professeur de dessin à l'École nationale d'art décoratifs de Nice où il reste jusqu'en 1968, puis il obtient un poste — chargé de cours « Formes et graphismes » — à la faculté de Vincennes en 1969. Il fait transporter sa presse, achetée avant son départ pour la villa Médicis et rangée chez ses parents, dans l'atelier de sa nouvelle maison au Thillay. Atteint de maladie de la moelle osseuse, il est hospitalisé durant des mois. En réaction à la souffrance et à l'immobilité, il dessine alors quantité de croquis à la pointe bic qui seront autant d'études pour ses futures gravures. Les plus grands spécialistes le condamnent à très court terme, mais il guérit et reprend ses activités. Il se spécialise alors dans la réalisation de décorations murales en cuivres gravés de 10 à 20 m2 installées dans plusieurs facultés et lycées au Havre, Poitiers, Niort, Granville, ainsi qu'un monumental mobile...
