Marcel CRAMOYSAN (1915-2007) A pupil of the Post-Impressionist Robert Antoine Pinchon (1886-1943), Marcel Cramoysan is a figurative painter whose main work is focused on the landscape, Norman in the first place, but also Breton, Provençal, Corsican, Spanish, Italian (Venice). He also painted still lifes, floral compositions, circus scenes... Cramoysan decorated the school of Étretat with canvases illustrating La Fontaine's Fables or Perrault's Tales. When it was inaugurated in 1957, this school was declared "the most beautiful school in France" by Raymond Lindon. Cramoysan was first appreciated by Rouen collectors and galleries, then in Paris: he joined the Pétridès gallery, where his works rubbed shoulders with those of Vlaminck, Foujita, Utrillo. He practiced lithography from the 1970s. He sold his works in Japan, through the Taménaga gallery. He is invited to many exhibitions in France (Paris, Rouen, Albi, Montpellier, Béziers…) and abroad (Switzerland, Japan). Cramoysan died in 2007.
