Emile Gruppe
1896-1968
Born in Rochester, New York, Emile Gruppe became a renowned
New England landscape and marine painter. Although he is best
known for his variety of Impressionistic landscapes, he also painted
figures and portraits. His modern style was largely inherited from
French Impressionist Claude Monet. "Lily Pads," date and location
unknown, one of Gruppes landscapes, attests to Monets influence
and is similar to some of the paintings in Monets "Water Lily" series.
