Camille Clovis Trouille (24 October 1889 in La Fère, France – 24 September 1975 in Paris), worked as a restorer and decorator of department store mannequins, but is remembered as a Sunday painter who trained at the École des Beaux-Arts of Amiens from 1905 to 1910.
Camille Clovis Trouille (24 October 1889 in La Fère, France – 24 September 1975 in Paris), worked as a restorer and decorator of department store mannequins, but is remembered as a Sunday painter who trained at the École des Beaux-Arts of Amiens from 1905 to 1910.
After his work was seen by Louis Aragon and Salvador Dalí, Trouille was declared a Surrealist by André Breton - a label Trouille accepted only as a way of gaining exposure, not having any real sympathy with that movement.
The simple style and lurid colouring of Trouille's paintings echo the
lithographic posters used in advertising in the first half of the 20th
century.
