Marcel Gromaire (1892-1971) was a painter who left a significant mark on French modern art. He turned to painting after the First World War, during which he served as a soldier. His wartime experience gave him a vision that was both realistic and monumental. His works, often associated with social humanism, highlight the world of work and the working classes through a powerful and understated style, with an expressionist influence. Upon his return from the war, he first worked as a film critic for the newspaper Le Crapouillot. In 1937, he decorated the pavilion of the Sèvres Porcelain Factory at the International Exhibition in Paris. He received the Guggenheim Prize in 1956 and the Grand Prix des Arts in 1958.
