Charles Lapicque is a French painter of the new School of Paris, born in Theizé on October 6, 1898, died in Orsay on July 15, 1988. His works were considered important, between 1939 and 1943, for the development of non-figurative painting and in the 1950s for the Pop art, narrative figuration, free figuration movements. Charles Lapicque was born under the name Charles René Thouvenin 1 on October 6, 1898 in Theizé, in the Rhône, to a family from the Vosges2. He is the adopted son of Louis Lapicque, professor of general physiology at the Faculty of Sciences of Paris, and of Marcelle de Heredia, herself daughter of the minister Severian de Heredia. He spent his early childhood in Épinal and in 1900 made his first stay in Brittany, near Paimpol, where he returned for a long time every summer3. In 1903 he began studying the piano4. From 1909 he lived in Paris where he followed his secondary studies, practiced drawing at high school then in free academies5, and began playing the violin in 19156. Mobilized from 1917 to 1919 in the field artillery, he acquired a knowledge of horses which would later be found in his paintings and participated in the battles of 19187 and received the Croix de Guerre.
