Description from the seller
Marc-Olivier GRÉGOIRE (1897-1991)
Nude 60x81 cm oil, gouache, tempera on panel.
Marc-Olivier Gregoire (French 1897 – 1991)
Gregoire’s main subjects were either beautiful Cezanne-inspired landscape scenes, or renderings of nude models. Usually the models are painted in a room facing the painter, or showing their back, lying down, while sunlight pervades through a window and exposes exquisite shadowing.
“Life is extremely beautiful,” is a common quote by him, and through his paintings of nature throughout the French countryside, Gregoire allows the viewer to escape to a tranquil world, away from industrialism, cities, and pollution.
Gregoire was a painter and was also a renowned inventor. He invented Teflon, TEFAL, or “Non-Stick Cooking,” and after this invention made mass success in the United States in the 1960s during the Christmas season, Gregoire was enabled to focus all his attention on his true passion, painting.
