Félix Del Marle, originally from Valenciennes, France, was a versatile artist who explored various art movements such as Futurism, abstraction, and Surrealism. He studied at the fine arts school in Lille before moving to Paris in 1912, where he associated with prominent artists like Apollinaire and Severini. Del Marle's art evolved over time, influenced by Italian Futurists, Kupka, and Mondrian. He served during the war but continued to create art, transitioning from figurative painting to abstraction and later embracing Surrealism. Del Marle's surrealist approach was unique, characterized by a blend of metamorphosis, dreams, poetry, and imagination, creating a fantastical and mystical world.
