About the Publication:
The folio Les Peintres mes amis (The Painters My Friends), published in Paris in 1965 by Editions d'art Les Heures Claires, stands among the most ambitious postwar French printmaking collaborations. Conceived as a celebration of modern art’s greatest masters, the volume unites original graphic works by Cavailles, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Dufy, Vlaminck, Matisse, Picasso, Chagall, Braque, Villon, Derain, Zadkine, Miro, and others, alongside critical essays by Andre Warnod. Each plate was executed under the supervision of Paris’s foremost ateliers—Mourlot Freres, Lucien Detruit, P.-J. Ballon, Manuel Robbe, and Raymond Jacquet—representing the finest techniques of lithography, etching, and woodcut. This luxurious folio exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of mid-20th-century French printing, merging text, image, and handcraft into a unified artistic statement. A triumph of the livre d’artiste tradition, it remains a vital record of the enduring creative dialogue between the painters, printers, and publishers who defined the visual culture of their time.
About the Artist:
Jules Cavailles (1901–1977) was a French painter, printmaker, and designer celebrated for his radiant color harmonies, lyrical compositions, and joyful depictions of everyday life, whose art represents one of the purest and most life-affirming expressions of 20th-century French modernism. Born in Carmaux, France, he originally trained as an architect before turning to painting at the Academie Julian in Paris, where he absorbed the lessons of Impressionism, Fauvism, and Post-Impressionism. Deeply inspired by Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, Paul Cezanne, and Henri Matisse, Cavailles developed a style that combined the intimate domestic sensibility of the Nabis with the chromatic brilliance of the Fauves, creating paintings filled with warmth, balance, and light. His art rejected the anxiety and abstraction of the avant-garde in favor of harmony, sensuality, and the celebration of daily life, aligning him with the “Peintres de la Realite Poetique” (Painters of Poetic Reality) alongside Maurice Brianchon, Raymond Legueult, Christian Caillard, and Andre Planson. His still lifes, interiors, floral compositions, and sunlit landscapes radiate serenity and optimism through masterful orchestration of line, color, and texture, transforming the ordinary into visual symphonies of joy and calm. While contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, and Man Ray pursued radical abstraction and conceptualism, Cavailles upheld a modern humanism rooted in beauty, proportion, and sincerity, finding renewal in the timeless pleasures of color and form. Exhibiting widely at the Salon des Tuileries, the Salon d’Automne, and the Galerie Druet, he became one of France’s most admired painters of the interwar and postwar periods, also contributing to mural design, tapestry, and book illustration. Appointed professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris after World War II, he influenced a new generation of artists—including Bernard Cathelin, Andre Brasilier, and Jean-Jacques Morvan—who carried forward his devotion to lyrical color and poetic realism. His philosophy of art was rooted in joy and equilibrium, believing painting to be an affirmation of life through light and harmony. Today, Cavailles’s works are represented in major institutions such as the Musee d’Art Moderne de Paris, Centre Pompidou, and Musee des Beaux-Arts in Albi, and continue to attract collectors for their refined beauty and emotional resonance. Standing alongside Picasso, Calder, Giacometti, Dali, Miro, Kandinsky, Duchamp, and Man Ray, Jules Cavailles occupies a singular position as a master of poetic modernism—a painter of serenity, elegance, and light. The highest auction record for Jules Cavailles was achieved by Fleurs et fruits sur une table (Flowers and Fruit on a Table), which sold for $120,000 USD at Sotheby’s, Paris, on December 3, 2020, confirming his enduring legacy as one of the most beloved and collectible French colorists of the 20th century.

Jules Cavailles
Jules Cavaillès was a painter whose art expressed the joy of living. Cavaillès was born on June 20, 1901, in Carmaux. He adored cheerful images that conjured up the pleasures of life, like sunny harbor scenes viewed through open windows, the lush countryside, naked women, colorful flowers in decorative interiors and even lobsters. He composed and recomposed this selected reality at leisure, presenting it through objects gleaned like repositories of memories, and he infused his art with life, thanks to pure colors stroked by a soft light. To quote Delacroix, Jules Cavaillès’s paintings are "a feast for the eye." He exhibited widely and won several prizes and his paintings are represented in major collections such as the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and the municipal art galleries of Albi, Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse, Chicago, Helsinki, Tel Aviv and Zurich. Cavaillès died on January 29, 1977, in Épineuil.
