Youla CHAPOVAL

For September 2020, 3 galleries on the left bank – Alain Le Gaillard, Antoine Laurentin & Le Minotaure – will join their forces to pay tribute to Youla Chapoval. In this context of unprecedented crisis, this collaboration is part of the effort to relaunch and promote galleries. It will make it possible to give a greater scope and echo to the exhibition of the work of Youla Chapoval, an artist still too little known to the public.

Youla Chapoval, born in Kiev in 1919, won the 2nd Prize for Young Painting (Prix de la Jeune Peinture) in 1947, as well as the Kandinsky Prize (Prix Kandinsky) in 1949 before dying prematurely in 1951 at the age of 32.

He was a member of Réalités Nouvelles, painter of the second School of Paris, friend of Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, Hans Hartung, exhibited by the greatest art dealers such as Jeanne Bucher and Denise René. He benefited from two retrospectives at the museums of modern art in Paris in 1964 and in Villeneuve d´Ascq in 1991.

We find his works in collections as famous as those of Masurel, Baron Graindorge, Dutilleul, Fenwick and Pierre Berès.
