About
Assisted by a team of researchers, Ms. Grammont-Camoin, the artist’s daughter and rights-holder, set up the Archives Camoin in 2010.
A non-profit organisation under the 1901 Law (known as ‘Association loi de 1901’), the Archives Camoin enriches, preserves, classifies, and makes the artist’s archives available. It also completes a scholarly inventory of his paintings and drawings, using rigorous research methodology.
As a first step, the Archives Camoin has undertaken to compile the catalogue raisonné of Camoin’s paintings to work toward a forthcoming publication.

— To compile the catalogue raisonné of his paintings and draw an inventory of his drawings.
— To collect, preserve, classify and make a documentary database relating to the artist’s life and work available to the public and researchers, to enable them to keep up to date with the latest news and research on his work. Please note that the archives are not open to the public.
The Archives Camoin is looking for any elements that might shed light on the life and work of Charles Camoin, and invites young or senior researchers, and exhibition curators who wish to contribute to the history of Charles Camoin to get in touch.
