Charles Picart Le Doux (1881-1959)

« He was best known as a painter of women and nudes  », says the Bénézit dictionnary about him. But he also wad a tireless landscaper, hailed by Romain Rolland, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. : ” All you need are a few strokes to evoke the atmosphere and horizons. “… Among the museums housing his work are Algiers, Bagnols, Casablanca, The Hague, Le Havre, Monaco, Moscow, Nice and Tours, as well as the Musée du Petit-Palais and the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris. In 1939, he received the great gold medal of the International Exhibition.
