Apart from a few months spent in 1936-37 at Otte Sköld painting school and a period at the Ateneum in Helsinki 1937-38 was Gert Marcus self-taught. He became one of Sweden’s most consistent Concretists, although he refrained from all isms. He lived in Stockholm since 1933, but for long periods he spent in Menton, Brittany, Paris and Massa Carrara in Italy.

He showed an early interest in Paul Cézanne’s paintings, how to create spatial and volume using only pure colors and without the use of Renaissance perspective. This led to Gert Marcus developed a color theory that he would be faithful to his entire oeuvre. In 1955 he met in Paris artists Michel Seuphor, Nicolas Schöffer and Georges Vantongerloo. With the latter, Marcus developed a long and fruitful friendship. The correspondence between them was published in 2000 by the Academy of Arts.
