{"title":"Valmier, Georges","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorges Valmier (1885-1937) was a French painter, born in Angoulême on 11 April 1885. He moved with his family to Montmartre in 1890, and was brought up in an environment of love of the arts, including music and painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis work encompassed the great movements in the modern history of painting, starting with Impressionism in his early years, then Cubism, which he discovered when he was around 25 years old, and finally Abstractionism from 1921. He also designed sets and costumes for theatre and ballet, and models for fabrics, carpets, and other objects. His oil paintings do not exceed 300 in number, since Valmier died prematurely at the age of 51. His paintings were the culmination of many preparatory drafts in gouache, multiple versions of which are works in themselves and reflect his penchant for colors and inventive shapes. Valmier was also a musician. He performed the works of Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, and Satie at major concerts and in churches, and had a decisive influence on the career of André Jolivet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValmier performed military service during 1904-1905, and after his return, he discovered the work of Cézanne at an exhibition of his works at the Salon d'Automne in 1907. He entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he trained under Luc-Olivier Merson until 1909. He married Jeanne Bliss Pessina in 1908, and their daughter Martha was born in 1912. Valmier was drafted into the military in 1914 and assigned to service in Toul, where he became acquainted with Albert Gleizes, Paul Colin, and the composer Florent Schmitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon his return to Montmartre in 1918, Valmier met Léonce Rosenberg, who soon recognized the high quality of his work and took him under contract. Rosenberg organized a solo exhibition for Valmier in 1921 at his Galerie de L'Effort Moderne. From 1923 to 1927, under the patronage of Rosenberg, his works were regularly published in the Bulletin de L'Effort moderne. In 1928, Rosenberg entrusted him with the decoration of the dining room of his apartment at rue de Longchamp in Paris, which also houses his art collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early 1930s marked Valmier's final transition to abstractionism. He was an early member of the board of Abstraction-Création, along with Jean Arp, Albert Gleizes, Jean Hélion, František Kupka, Leon Tutundjian, and Georges Vantongerloo, as well as the Hungarian painter Alfred Reth, with whom he jointly created works titled Forms in Space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1936, Valmier began working on three monumental works for the decoration of the theatre of the Palace of Railways for the World Expo held in Paris in 1937.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValmier suffered ill-health since 1932, and died on 25 March 1937 in Montmartre.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"art-deco-designs-32-high-resolution-images","title":"Art Deco Designs - 32 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2025 marks a significant Art Deco anniversary - 100 years since its inception!
