From AskArt: "A prolific artist and an influential teacher, Emile Gruppé enjoyed a long and successful career that spanned over six decades. Best known for his vigorous portrayals of the harbors and houses of Gloucester, Massachusetts and the rural scenery of Vermont, his art reflects his belief that "When a man paints, he expresses his whole life; what he's done and what he's experienced. If you are bold and outgoing, your work will show it." Emile Gruppé was born in Rochester, New York on November 23rd 1896, a son of Charles P. Gruppé (1860-1940), a painter of Barbizon-inspired landscapes. Gruppé died in East Gloucester on September 28th 1978. A retrospective exhibition of his work was held at the North Shore Art Association in 1997. Gruppe's paintings can be found in many public collections, including the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, Hagerstown, Maryland; the Hickory Museum of Art, Hickory, North Carolina; the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, Loretto, Pennsylvania; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Montclair Art Museum, New Jersey; the New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, Connecticut; the Oklahoma City Museum of Art; the Richmond Art Museum, Richmond, Indiana; the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, Florida; the Springville Museum of Art, Springville, Utah; the Sheldon Swope Art Museum, Terre Haute, Indiana; and The White House, Washington, D.C."
