Claudius de Cap Blanc (1 November 1953 – 11 November 2022), pseudonym of Jean-Claude Lagarde, was a French sculptor.[1] He was known as a "vulvographer" for his paintings and engravings of the human vulva.[2]
Biography
[edit]Lagarde was born in Oust, Ariège on 1 November 1953 into a peasant family.[3] His name was a replacement for his deceased older brother, also Jean-Claude, after his death at 22 months of age from gangrene.[4] He was found dead on 11 November 2022 in Ganac from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, at the age of 69.[5]

In 2007, Lagarde began devoting himself to vulvography, painting and engraving on the rocks and trees of the Ariège Pyrenees and in public place.[6] The lack of authorization of these works led to his prosecution for vandalism, for which he was fined 6000 euros and sentenced to two months in prison.[7] His sentence was followed by a conference at the Parc pyrénéen de l'art préhistorique put on by prehistorian Jean Clottes.
