About the Publication:
Lettre a mon peintre Raoul Dufy (Paris: Librairie academique Perrin et Cie, 1965) is a distinguished folio honoring Raoul Dufy (1877–1953), printed on July 22, 1965, by Mourlot Freres, Paris. Conceived as a refined homage to Dufy’s lyrical modernism, the folio comprises twenty-seven lithographs on velin Arjomari paper, executed d’apres Dufy and his contemporaries—including Jacques Villon, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Marcel Gromaire, Bernard Buffet, Charles Lapicque, Andre Marchand, and Jean Lurcat—thereby situating Dufy within the broader lineage of twentieth-century French art. The project reflects both the technical mastery of Mourlot’s atelier and the mid-century Parisian ideal of merging painterly tribute with fine-print craftsmanship, affirming Dufy’s enduring influence on modern visual culture.
About the Artist:
Marcel Gromaire (1892–1971) was a French painter, printmaker, and tapestry designer whose monumental compositions, sculptural forms, and deeply humanistic vision established him as one of the most powerful and enduring figures of 20th-century French modernism. Born in Noyelles-sur-Sambre, France, Gromaire was largely self-taught and initially trained in law before dedicating himself fully to art. Influenced by Paul Cezanne’s structural logic, the geometry of Cubism, and the expressive depth of early modern painting, he developed a distinctive style that balanced intellectual design with emotional resonance. His experiences as a soldier during World War I profoundly shaped his worldview, inspiring a focus on the strength, dignity, and perseverance of humanity. By the 1920s and 1930s, Gromaire had emerged as a leading figure in the Parisian avant-garde, exhibiting alongside Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Fernand Leger, and forming creative relationships with Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His paintings—characterized by rhythmic structure, muted tones, and simplified geometric forms—depict workers, musicians, and nudes with sculptural solidity and quiet introspection, uniting modern design with timeless humanism. A pioneer of the integration of art and craft, Gromaire also designed celebrated tapestries in collaboration with the Manufacture des Gobelins and Aubusson, translating his monumental imagery into architectural scale. His influence extended to later generations of artists such as Jean Dubuffet, Balthus, and the postwar School of Paris, who admired his synthesis of geometry, empathy, and formal discipline. Today, Gromaire’s works are held in the world’s foremost collections, including the Centre Pompidou, the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Tate, and MoMA. Collectors continue to prize his art for its harmonious blend of strength and sensitivity, reflecting both the structural innovation of modernism and the enduring vitality of the human spirit. His highest auction record was achieved by Le Peintre et son modele (1939), which sold for €847,500 (approximately $1 million) at Christie’s, Paris, on December 4, 2013, affirming his lasting legacy as one of the great humanist painters of 20th-century France.

Marcel Gromaire
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.
