Marcel Dyf was born in Paris on October 7, 1899. In his youth he showed a marked ability for painting. At the age of twenty-three he took the step of becoming a professional artist and devoted himself entirely to painting. He soon became known not only in France, but also in England, America, Canada, Germany and Algeria. Among his most successful exhibitions were those at the famous Petrides Gallery in Paris in 1949, 1951, and 1953. He was greatly honoured in 1950 by being asked to exhibit in the National Display Gallery at the Carnegie Institute. His death in 1985 marked the passing of one of the last true Impressionists of our era.
