Life

Gassel was born in Brussels, she is also known as a Muay Thai sportsperson. She contributed to the 1999 work entitled Picturing the Modern Amazon, which was translated by Pierre Samuel and published by New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City. She has made public appearances and her writings have been published by the University of Brussels Review. Nathalie Gassel's writing exposes her life as an athlete and details her muscular physique and is expressed in her 2001 book Eros Androgyne [1] and Musculatures. These two works celebrate her strong body. Her decisive writing in The Years of Insignificance probes the adversities of her torn and troubled childhood. Gassel has also created a photographic publication Récit Plastique.[ citation needed ]

"In a readily traditional prose with quasi-nervous tension that vibrates constantly building intensity," describes the philosopher Frank Pierobon, "Récit Plastique recounts this through dialogue texts and photographs.[ citation needed ] This body with body, between writings and images, oscillates between instincts of life and death, leading to a marbled reflection of abstractions."

The Société Normande de Peinture Moderne, also known as Société de Peinture Moderne, or alternatively, Normand Society of Modern Painting, was a collective of eminent painters, sculptors, poets, musicians and critics associated with Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism and Orphism. The Société Normande de la Peinture Moderne was a diverse collection of avant-garde artists; in part a subgrouping of the Cubist movement, evolving alongside the so-called Salon Cubist group, first independently then in tandem with the core group of Cubists that emerged at the Salon d'Automne and Salon des Indépendants between 1909 and 1911. Historically, the two groups merged in 1912, at the Section d'Or exhibition, but documents from the period prior to 1912 indicate the merging occurred earlier and in a more convoluted manner.
