Emile Albert Gruppé (1896–1978) was an American painter born in Rochester New York, to Helen and Charles P. Gruppé.

Gruppé studied at the National Academy in New York City and the Académie de la Grande Chaumiére in Paris. He made his permanent studio in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and became a member of the Cape Ann School of artists. Obviously influenced by Monet his palette becomes much more vivid and his brushwork more varied than his father’s, his style was considered very modern for its time. There is great selectivity here between the gusto of the brushwork and the positioning of edges.
