Édouard Goerg (1893–1969), born in Sydney, was a painter, printmaker and illustrator. His experience of the First World War informed work concerned with violence and social contradictions. During the interwar years, paintings such as Le Mariage (1924) and La malédiction paternelle (1928) examined bourgeois customs. Printmaking also remained a sustained part of his practice: his illustrated books include Le Livre de Job and Les Fleurs du Mal. He chaired the Société des peintres-graveurs français from 1945 to 1958. He subsequently taught etching at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and painting at the Grande Chaumière. Elected to the Académie des beaux-arts in 1965, he also developed the theme of Femmes-fleurs.
