Georges Valmier 喬治·瓦爾米耶 (1885-1937) Cubism French

tonykwk39@ Georges Valmier was born on April 10th, 1885, in Angoulème. From his father--a military band conductor--he inherited his passion for music, which would lead him to sing as a baritone in choirs and churches. In 1890, his family moved to Paris, where young Valmier attended painting lessons at l’Acadèmie Humbert, until he was accepted in the renowned Luc-Olivier Merson studio. His painting was inspired by artists like Cézanne, Braque and André Lhote. In 1908 he married Jeanne Félicité Pessina, with whom he had a daughter, Marthe, and they settled down in Montmartre. Both his wife and daughter would model for the artist in many of his works. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon of the Independents in 1913. In 1914 he was called up to the army, where he met Albert Gleizes and Florent Schmitt, and where he served as a geographic maps designer. With Gleizes he shared common artistic and spiritual affinities, although Valmier reproached him for being excessively intellectual. When the war ended, he returned to Paris and met Léonce Rosenberg, with whom he signed a contract that would last until his death. Excited by his original miniaturist works, Rosenberg calls Valmier “the Fouquet of modern painting“. The works exhibited at the Salon of the Independents in 1922 reflected his return to Cubism. By that time he met the widow of Gayraud, with whom he would lead a double life for one decade, as they shared the same artistic sensitivity. He took part in several exhibitions in New York and Vienna, exhibiting at l’Effort Moderne and the Briant-Robert Gallery. A new evolution enriched his work, characterized by a more internal, cosmic inspiration. In 1930, he exhibited at the Salon of the Superindependents and published his album “Decorations and Colours“. He took part at the International Exhibition of New Art in Warsaw, permanently retaking abstract style. He then exhibited at the Braun Gallery of Paris and at the Lodz Museum in Poland, which acquired one of his works. A fall caused by a hypertensive crisis plunged the artist into a period characterized by irritability and depression, in strong contrast with his usual cheerful nature. In 1935, he took part in the exhibition “The creators of Cubism“ at the Galleria des Beaux-Arts. The following year, he started working on the three panels that would decorate the cinema room of the Palais des Chemins de Fer in the World Fair of 1937. He died in the street on March 25th, 1937, without being able to contemplate the installation of his last finished work. 喬治·瓦爾米耶1885年4月10日出生在昂古萊梅。從他的父親 - 軍樂隊指揮 - 他繼承了他對音樂的熱愛，這將導致他在合唱團和教堂唱男中音。 1890年，他的家人搬到巴黎，那裡年輕的瓦爾米爾在l’AcadèmieHumbert參加繪畫課，直到他被著名的Luc-Olivier Merson工作室接受。他的繪畫靈感來自塞尚，布拉克和安德烈洛特等藝術家。 1908年，他與JeanneFélicitéPessina結婚，與他一起生了一個女兒Marthe，他們在蒙馬特定居。他的妻子和女兒都會在他的許多作品中為這位藝術家塑造模特。他在1913年第一次在獨立沙龍展出。 1914年，他被召集到軍隊，在那裡他遇到了阿爾伯特·格萊茲和弗洛倫施密特，並擔任地理地圖設計師。在格萊茲的幫助下，他分享了共同的藝術和精神上的親和力，儘管瓦爾米爾指責他過於知性。戰爭結束後，他回到巴黎並遇到了萊昂斯羅森伯格，並與他簽署了一項合同，直到他死亡。在他的原創小型作品的激勵下，羅森伯格稱瓦爾米耶為“現代繪畫的噱頭”。 1922年在獨立沙龍展出的作品反映了他回歸立體主義。那時他遇到了Gayraud的遺，，他將與他一起過上十年的雙重生活，因為他們具有相同的藝術敏感度。他參加了紐約和維也納的多個展覽，參加現代藝術展和布萊恩特羅伯特畫廊。 新的演變豐富了他的作品，其特點是更多的內在宇宙靈感。 1930年，他在超級無Sal的沙龍展出，並出版他的專輯“裝飾和顏色”。他參加了華沙國際新藝術展，永久性地重現了抽像風格。隨後，他在巴黎的布勞恩畫廊和波蘭的羅茲博物館展出他的作品。 由高血壓危機引起的跌倒使藝術家陷入了一個以煩躁和沮喪為特徵的時期，與他平時開朗的性格形成鮮明對比。 1935年，他在美術館參加了“立體主義的創造者”展覽。第二年，他開始研究將在1937年世界博覽會上裝飾Palais des Chemins de Fer的電影室的三個小組。他於1937年3月25日在街上去世，但沒有考慮࠸
