The museums of Honfleur, Sète, and Roubaix are joining forces to organize, with the exceptional support of the Galerie de la Présidence and the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, an ambitious monographic exhibition dedicated to Marcel Gromaire, a French painter born in Noyelle-sur-Sambre in 1892. A law graduate, he attended the Colarossi, Ranson, and La Palette academies. He received advice from Matisse and was passionate about the Romanesque, Gothic, and primitive styles. He visited the Nordic countries, whose atmosphere would profoundly influence his work. After the war of 1914, where he was wounded at the Battle of the Somme, in 1916, he exhibited in the Parisian Salons, where his composition La Guerre was a resounding success at the Indépendants of 1925. He was, from then on, helped by Dr. Girardin who bought all his paintings for a few years and bequeathed them, upon his death, to the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
