Jean Gorin Biography

(b Saint-Emilion-de-Blain, Loire-Atlantique, 2 Dec 1899; d Niort, 29 March 1981). French painter and sculptor. He studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris from 1914 to 1916 and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nantes from 1919 to 1922. Initially influenced by Matisse, van Gogh and Cézanne, he discovered Cubism in Paris in 1923 and was particularly impressed by Albert Gleizes’s book Du Cubisme (Paris, 1921). After a brief flirtation with Purism, he continued to move towards abstraction, especially after encountering Mondrian’s Neo-plasticism in 1926. Almost immediately, and permanently, he was converted to this aesthetic, creating works such as Composition No. 5 (1926; Paris, Pompidou). Gorin first exhibited his work in April 1928 at Lille with the group S.T.U.C.A. (Sciences, Techniques, Urbanisme, Confort, Art), alongside Mondrian, César Domela and others, in a show organized by Félix del Marle, founder of the review Vouloir .
