Lucien Coutaud was a singular and prolific painter of the 20th century, mastering various techniques and excelling in different fields. He created almost two thousand paintings, numerous drawings, tapestries, etchings, lithographs, set and costume designs for theater and opera, and illustrated books. Coutaud's work was characterized by his unique style called Eroticomagie, which was a direct language of the mind activating consciousness and emotions, exploring the dream state to discover its true limits. His art broke through the boundaries of reality, merging dreams with reality and rehabilitating reality through dreams. Coutaud's work was a continuous exploration of the dream state, filled with desires, anxieties, and adorable obsessions.Christophe Dauphin, excerpts from Lucien Coutaud, le peintre de l'Eroticomagie, ed.
