LUCIEN COURTAUD (1904-1977) was a French painter and engraver known for his surrealist and figurative works that often explored themes of eroticism and fantasy. Born in Meynes, Gard, he moved to Paris to study at the École des Beaux-Arts and became associated with the Surrealist movement, although he developed a unique style that set him apart from his contemporaries. His work is characterized by a blend of dreamlike imagery and distorted human figures, often set in barren landscapes. Coutaud's art was influenced by his experiences in World War II, and he also designed sets and costumes for the theater. Despite being less well-known than some of his Surrealist peers, Coutaud's work has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, contributing to the rich tapestry of 20th-century French art.
