Advertising and costume design at the beginning of the 20th century , for entertainment centers such as the Moulin Rouge and the Ambassadeurs in the Montmartre district of Paris, was a great way to earn a fortune.

Although it only happened to a few, one of them was a young Norman artist by the name of Gaston Noury.
Gaston learned the art of drawing from a master, his grandfather who was the director and curator of the local art museum.

Among the frequent visitors to Maison Noury are named artists: Pissaro, Renoir, Monet and Degas.

At the age of 23, he moved to Paris and settled in the shadow of the newly erected Basilica of the Sacred Heart. In the space of 12 to 15 years, the artist saw his fortune grow, but his dissatisfaction with trivial projects led him to want to go beyond costumes and art posters.

His decision to switch to advertising and publishing led him to a more serious job and he quickly found some happiness in book illustration. He also gained notoriety in the field of fashion design through the exposure of his work in magazines and internal publications.

In October 1918, his wife was swept away by the Spanish flu, deeply affected, he returned to Le Havre and then settled in Saint-Adresse, not far from Sarah Bernhardt's house.

He devotes himself entirely to his art and practices oil painting, gouache, watercolor but also pastel.

Refusing to remarry, he brings up his three children on his own.

During his last years, he experienced misery: unable to always buy canvases, he also painted on plywood.

His latest productions are still lifes of different flowers, his state of health no longer allowing him to move.
