About the Item
Jean Jules Cavaillès
1901–1977 French
La Colombe
(The Dove)
Signed "J. Cavaillès" (lower right and on reverse)
Oil on canvas
Jules Cavaillès' La Colombe embodies the artist's vibrant and uplifting approach to still life, distinguished by his use of pure, bold color and expressive compositions. The lively interplay of red, green, pink and blue hues radiates a sense of joy, while the overflowing bouquet and leaves bring an exuberant vitality to the canvas. In the foreground, the inclusion of a charming dove—a common motif in Cavaillès' work—symbolizes love, peace and harmony, heightening the sense of serenity conveyed by the composition.
In La Colombe, Cavaillès skillfully manipulates color and form, evoking a joyful spirit that is a hallmark of his oeuvre. The dove, pot of flowers and bright red table all reflect his mastery of balancing the Fauvist-inspired vibrant palette with a more restrained, soft realism. This painting perfectly captures the simple pleasures of life, imbuing the work with a deep sense of warmth and tranquility.
Jules Cavaillès, an influential figure in the Post-Impressionist and Fauvist movements, is celebrated for his mastery of color and light. His works are noted for their optimistic, vibrant depictions of ordinary scenes that epitomize joie de vivre. He and a like-minded group of artists in Paris formed a movement called La Réalité Poétique, which celebrated the lyrical, emotional layers of everyday life. Cavaillès exhibited in Paris at major Salons, taught at the École des Arts Décoratifs and his works reside in prominent institutions like the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris.

Jules Cavailles
Jules Cavaillès was a painter whose art expressed the joy of living. Cavaillès was born on June 20, 1901, in Carmaux. He adored cheerful images that conjured up the pleasures of life, like sunny harbor scenes viewed through open windows, the lush countryside, naked women, colorful flowers in decorative interiors and even lobsters. He composed and recomposed this selected reality at leisure, presenting it through objects gleaned like repositories of memories, and he infused his art with life, thanks to pure colors stroked by a soft light. To quote Delacroix, Jules Cavaillès’s paintings are "a feast for the eye." He exhibited widely and won several prizes and his paintings are represented in major collections such as the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and the municipal art galleries of Albi, Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse, Chicago, Helsinki, Tel Aviv and Zurich. Cavaillès died on January 29, 1977, in Épineuil.
