"THERE ARE THREE CATALAN... MIRÓ, TAPIES & CAPDEVILLE ! "
Jacques Dupin
Jean Capdeville (1917-2011) was a French abstract artist known for his dreamlike and atmospheric paintings. Capdeville initially pursued a career in engineering before turning to art in the 1940s. His work is characterized by ethereal landscapes and subtle color palettes, often evoking a sense of mystery and contemplation. Capdeville's unique style drew inspiration from nature and his own introspective visions, blending reality with dreamlike elements. He exhibited extensively in Europe, gaining recognition for his ability to capture the ephemeral qualities of light and space. Capdeville passed away in 2011, leaving behind a legacy of poetic and evocative artworks.
