Biography
Louis Marcoussis was a Polish-born French painter and printmaker who was born on November 14, 1878. He was known for his Cubist paintings and collages, which were influenced by the works of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Marcoussis moved to Paris in 1903 and became a part of the avant-garde art scene. He exhibited his works at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne. During World War I, he served in the French army and was wounded in battle. After the war, he continued to create art and became a member of the Section d'Or group. In the 1920s, he began to experiment with collage, incorporating materials such as newspaper clippings and playing cards into his works. Marcoussis continued to work until his death on October 22, 1941, in Cusset, France. His works can be found in museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
