Marcel Gromaire - Flemish Interior or Interieur Flamand and Nude or Nu

1. Flemish Interior (Interieur Flamand) - 2. Nude (Nu)

Marcel Gromaire's Flemish Interior (Interieur Flamand) and Nude (Nu) were commissioned by the Paris publication, Verve, and were bound into their 1952 double number volume. Both sides of the sturdy, wove paper were used for printing and therefore the black and white lithograph (Nude) appears on the verso of the colour lithograph (Flemish Interior). Both of these original lithographs are signed and dated in the stone by the artist, Marcel Gromaire. This is a fine, original example of the lithographic art created by the French artist, Marcel Gromaire.

Printer:	Fernand Mourlot, Paris
Note:	Marcel Gromaire: A major French painter, printmaker and designer Marcel Gromaire first received training for a legal career. Beginning around 1910 he frequented the studio of Henri Matisse and received some lessons in printmaking from Felix Vallotton, at the Academie Ranson. Gromaire's first works of art to be exhibited were at the Salon des Independants in 1911. During the First World War (1914-1918) he served in the French Army and was wounded at the Somme. After the war, Marcel Gromaire was a frequent exhibitor at both the Salon d'Automne and at the Salon des Independants. His first one man show took place in Paris in 1921.
	Original etching and lithography assumed great importance in Marcel Gromaire's art after 1922. He stated, "The craft of the print maker is fascinating, but only if the prints are original, that is entirely from the artist's hand." * Scholars saw elements of both Cubism and Expressionism in his art, but Marcel Gromaire vehemently resisted such easy classification. Art, he wrote, "is for me a way of living, of perceiving life. I am seeking to give man his place in nature." **
	A master of figure studies, nudes and still lifes, Marcel Gromaire's talents also included book illustration and major commissions for tapestry designs. In 1952 he was awarded the Carnegie International Prize for Art.
	Flemish Interior and Nude were commissioned by the Paris publication, Verve, and were bound into their 1952 double number volume. Both sides of the sturdy, wove paper were used for printing and therefore the black and white lithograph (Nude) appears on the verso of the colour lithograph (Flemish Interior). The paper has thus been matted on both sides in order to make the two lithographs accessible. Both these original lithographs clearly showcase Gromaire's talents as a major twentieth century printmaker.
	Verve: From 1937 to 1960 Verve was a leader for promoting modern movements in art. Printed and published in Paris, this periodical contained major articles on and by leading contemporary artists. More importantly, each issue contained at least one original print created specifically for the publication.
	Some of the most sought after original lithographs of the twentieth century appeared in 1952 double number (#27 & 28) of Verve. These included Marc Chagall's complete Visions de Paris set, Henri Matisse's, The Sadness of the King, Leger's, The Outing, Andre Masson's, Le Torrent, Miro's, The Dog Barking at the Moon and original lithographs in both colours and black and white by Georges Braque, Henri Laurens, Alberto Giacometti, Francisco Bores and Marcel Gromaire. Original works of art printed by Verve never appeared in pencil signed and limited editions, but most were published in numbers of two thousand five hundred or less.
