Georges Émile Capon – Female Nude, numbered lithograph 45/60, signed

Plate by Georges Capon, sometimes referred to as Georges Emile Capon. A work that does not seek to overdo it, but immediately imposes its presence. This beautiful composition by Georges Émile Capon (1890-1980) depicts a seated woman, captured in a moment of intimacy and solitude. This intimate moment oscillates between symbolic representation (softness, reflection, daydreaming, pleasure, sensuality, intimacy, beauty, present time...) and realism. The line, deliberately free and expressive, evokes the softness of a sanguine and gives the scene great sensitivity. The work is offered in a beautiful format of 50 × 64 cm, signed CAPON and numbered 45/60, indicating a limited edition. The timeless subject of the nude, combined with this warm palette of brown-red tones, makes it a work that is both elegant, expressive, and easy to integrate into a contemporary interior as well as among older pieces.

A few words about the artist: Georges Émile Capon (1890-1980) is a French artist, painter, engraver, lithographer, and prominent poster artist. Trained at the École Germain-Pilon, he was notably associated with the Galerie Berthe Weill (a French art dealer and patron) and evolved within the artistic world of the first half of the 20th century. His work, which includes paintings, posters, and prints, reflects a marked taste for the human figure and scenes of everyday life. A friend of Raoul Dufy, Marcel Gromaire, Maurice Savin, Francis Smith, and André Dunoyer de Segonzac. His painting shows the influence of Raoul Dufy and Marcel Gromaire. Situated in the first School of Paris, he nonetheless claims his roots by founding, in 1925, with his painter friends Pierre Hodé and Jacques Wolf, the Group of Norman Painters. During the Second World War, he taught drawing and chromolithography at the Estienen school while also being part of the resistance movement Libération - Nord. His works are now preserved in several public collections, notably at the Centre Pompidou, the Carnavalet Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Nancy. He is the grandfather of the painter Gilles Ghez, a visual artist. The last image is a staging.
