Marcel Dyf bigraphy:
Marcel Dyf aborted his job as an engineer to become an artist. In 1922, he went to Arles to train as a painter, where he also opened his own studio. He painted frescoes at the city halls of Saint-Martin-de-Crau and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, as well as at the Museon Arlaten in Arles. He created windows for the Église Saint-Louis in Marseille. He moved into the former studio of Maximilien Luce and went to the Académie Julian in 1935. He returned to Arles because of the German invasion in 1940 and joined the French Résistance. After the Second World War he spent the winters in Paris and the summers in Southern France. His works were exhibited and sold by Petrides Gallery, the Salon d’Automne, the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Artistes Francais in Paris, as well as in galleries in Cannes, Nice, Marseilles and Strasbourg. Overseas, he exhibited at Frost & Reed Gallery in London.
