H: 93 x W: 112 cm with frame Born in Paris in 1890 and deceased in 1980, Georges-Émile Capon covered a century of art history, from the innovation of the vanguard up to the effervescence of modern art. Friend of Dufy, Gromaire, Savin, Francis Smith and Dunoyer de Segonzac. He paints with sensitivity and attachment, fertile inventor of majestic and simple forms. His entire career, he constantly finds a way to renew himself, through intelligent observation... the colours and lines of nature. He paints landscapes, still lifes ("The Yellow Book", 1934), academic nudes ("Figure of a Woman", 1929) and genre scene. A retrospective exhibition devoted to him in 1931 to the Art Chicago Institute. He trained at the Germain-Pillon school, now Olivier de Serre, and started at the Salon des Indépendants and 1910. The General Meeting of the Beaux-Arts elected Capon as a corporate member in 1910. His career is long, he exhibits in many Salons, notably (Figure of a woman) alongside Kees Van Dongen ("Along the Nile") and Émile Bernard ( Smoking hashish") in 1929. Bibliography : .
