Gérard Joseph Grassère was born in 1915 in Heerlen and died in 1993 in Den Bosch. He completed his artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
Grassère initially painted landscapes and people in an expressionist style, somewhat related to the work of the Flemish painter Constant Permeke. In 1931 Grassère moved to Eindhoven and in 1948 came into contact with the Cobra, but he did not prefer to belong to it.
Music was an important factor in his work. About this innovative artistic period he said: 'Those transformations were very important to me because I found great freedom in them, it broadened my horizons'. He let go of figuration and surrendered to 'non-figuration'. The colour palette became brighter, but in his later works the colours were subordinated to the dominant black. The 'sound transformations' produced work with a complex use of colour. The directness of the applied paint and the dynamics are reminiscent of the 'action painting' of Jackson Pollock.
