Charles Lapicque is a French painter and engraver of the new School of Paris. He was born in Theizé on October 6, 1898 and died in Orsay on July 15, 1988. His work occupies a prominent place in contemporary French art. His way of progressing against the current gives him a fundamental originality. The maritime vocation of Lapicque and a certain number of his paintings dated 1939-1940 (armed figures, the port of Loguivy, Joan of Arc crossing the Loire, Sainte-Catherine de Fierbois, etc.) stand out from this period the role that Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and the landscapes of Horta de Ebro played in the Cubist adventure of the beginning of the century.
