Charles Lapicque  (1898 - 1988) was a French  painter  known for his brightly colored depictions of landscapes and figures.  His focused on the optical research, which would serve him well later as an artist with a particularly keen sensitivity to the play of light. Until the end, his artistic practice was informed by his interest in the precise study of color and his innovative experimentations with color perception and composition.
