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.

In 2012, Lagarde was the subject of the radio documentary Derrière le miroir, Claudius de Cap Blanc, produced by Sophie Bocquillon and broadcast by France Culture.[3]
