Claude Vallet (1927-2018) Self-portrait 1949
Claude Vallet (1927-2018) Self-Portrait 1949, charcoal, 64 x 48 cm, signed and dated lower left.
After a solid education at the School of Applied Arts and the School of Fine Arts, Claude Vallet began working in 1947 for advertising agencies, providing them with numerous projects.
He studied under André Auclair (painter, ceramicist, and tapestry designer), who taught at the Fine Arts workshops on Boulevard de Montparnasse. However, it was to Jean Lombard and Jean Marzelle that he owed his pictorial direction, an heir to the more restrained Cubism of André Lhote.
He then formed close ties with painters of his generation such as Manessier, Bazaine, and Baboulène. In the 1950s, he moved to the south of France, settling in Le Revest near Toulon, where he found much of his inspiration. He then focused his research on the construction of space in harmony with the light and colors of the South of France, fascinated by the mineral landscape of the Provençal mountains.
He participated in numerous exhibitions, received the second Charles Pacquement Prize at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris at the Palais de Tokyo in 1956, exhibited regularly at the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Champs-Élysées, and participated in numerous exhibitions in Toulon at the Salon de la Peinture et de la Sculpture with Baboulène, Fusaro, and Guerrier, at the Galerie Transposition with Lily Masson and Jean Bordes (1969), and at the Centre Culturel Chaillot-Galliera, Avenue Georges V, Paris.
