An enticing fantasy world at the crossroads of cubism and surrealism.Élie Lascaux established an original body of work that is as close to popular painting as to high art.

An enticing fantasy world at the crossroads of cubism and surrealism.Élie Lascaux established an original body of work that is as close to popular painting as to high art. He was involved in the most emblematic movements of his generation-cubism and surrealism-without belonging to any particular school of painting. A self-taught artist and friend of Suzanne Valadon, he was first discovered by Max Jacob and Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, the art collector who championed Picasso, before becoming a protégé of Paris's avant-garde set in the 1920s and '30s. Gertrude Stein, Jean Cocteau, and Antonin Artaud were just a few of the artists, writers, and poets in his close entourage to encourage the development of his singular and poetical artistic style.Lascaux's work has often been described as "naïve." His paintings evoke a marvelous world with such unaffected delight that they have an unparalleled and enduring power to touch and bewitch the child within us.This album is an invitation to (re)discover the work of a major artist through some two hundred masterpieces, fine photographs, and facsimile reproductions of his diary, alongside essays by prominent members of the art world, past and present. It is an eloquent tribute to the "almost waking dream" of Élie Lascaux's art.
