About Marcel Cramoysan, born in Étretat on January 1, 1915, and died in Bois-Guillaume on April 26, 2007: a French painter and lithographer of the Rouen School. A student of the Post-Impressionist Robert Antoine Pinchon (1886-1943), Marcel Cramoysan was a figurative painter whose work focused primarily on landscapes, especially those of Normandy, but also included still lifes, floral compositions, circus scenes, and rare portraits. Cramoysan decorated the Étretat School with canvases illustrating La Fontaine's Fables and Tales of Perrault. At its inauguration in 1957, this school was declared "the most beautiful school in France" by Raymond Lindon. Located at 8 rue Quesney in Rouen, this "little master in the clear and luminous lineage of the painters of the Rouen School" was first appreciated by collectors and galleries in Rouen, then in Paris: he joined the Pétridès gallery, where his works hung alongside those of Vlaminck, Foujita, and Utrillo. He began practicing lithography in the 1970s. He sold his works in Japan through the Taménaga gallery. He was invited to numerous exhibitions in France (Paris, Rouen, Albi, Montpellier, Béziers, etc.) and abroad (Switzerland, Japan).
