Charles Kvapil was a Belgian painter of the School of Paris, of Czechoslovakian origin, born in November 1884 and died in Paris in 1957.
His first works were exhibited in 1908 at the Antwerp Salon and continued to be shown until 1914. After the First World War, during which he was mobilized, Charles Kvapil settled in Paris and set up his studio in Montmartre, in the Hameau des Artistes (Artists' Hamlet), between Rue Lepic and 11 Avenue Junot. He later also lived in Villiers-sur-Morin, on Rue du Touarte.
He first came to the attention of the Parisian public in 1920 at the Salon des Indépendants and his reputation steadily grew, eventually leading to exhibitions in Paris, Munich, Brussels, Geneva, Italy, Stockholm, London, and New York.
Today, his work is represented in numerous public and private collections, including the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, and museums in Le Havre, Libourne, Rouen, Saint-Étienne, Amsterdam, and Tunis.
