BIOGRAPHY: Gregoire mainly depicted very naturalistic landscape and river scenes, or reclining nudes and pin-up models. His well-known motto; "Life is extremely beautiful", can be found back in both his landscapes, as well as in his 'model' paintings. As Gregroire, like a photographer, would always await the very best moment to optimally capture his subject. Next to being a painter he was also a very successful inventor. He invented Teflon or "Non Stick Cooking", as used in the well-known TEFAL cookware. After he was financially independent due to that success, he would only focus on painting and teaching at his very own painting academy.
