Groux Rock
Groux Rock () is an isolated rock outcrop in the northern part of the Phillips Mountains, east-northeast of Mount June, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos (1959–65), and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Roger G. Groux, a U.S. Navy shipfitter with the Byrd Station winter party, 1967.
clearly influenced by de Groux' social realist works. Vincent van Gogh is known to have admired de Groux's work . Van Gogh's "The Potato Eaters" was inspired by this work of de Groux. Van Gogh also praised Charles de Groux for his excellent 'types'. He was of the view that de Groux' studies and drawings displayed the same 'white-hot' passion that he found in the head studies of Frans Hals and Honoré Daumier, and in the novels of Zola and Balzac.
