Gromaire was formed in the academies of Montparnasse. His work is serious but not severe.
Marked by the 1914-1918 war, he emerged stronger in his certainties; influenced by Cézanne, he advanced against the tide of cubism. He knows how to stay in touch with the world but translates it into violently simplified forms. He said: To the distortion I oppose the affirmation of the object.
