Lucien Coutaud
French painter and set designer, whose work had a fantastic, ironic, and Surrealist tone.
Short Biography
Coutaud, Lucien was born on December 13, 1904, in Paris, France. He was a painter and set designer who was close to Surrealism, without being an official member. His work is characterized by a fantastic, often ironic figuration, with bizarre landscapes and anthropomorphic figures. His contribution to the avant-garde lies in his independent, yet Surrealist-oriented, aesthetic.
Connection to the Book World
Coutaud was an active illustrator of 'livres d'artiste' and collaborated with modern poets on luxurious editions. His graphic work (etchings, lithographs) translated the fantastic and ironic images of his paintings to the book medium. His contribution is an important example of Fantastic Art in bibliophily.
