The scientific study of Charles Camoin’s work was initiated by the art historian Danièle Giraudy, who, in 1972, published the first critical monograph on the artist, from his beginnings to his death, complemented by the first catalogue raisonné of his paintings.
In the 1990s, the studies on Fauvism and the organisation of temporary exhibitions sparked a revival of writing on the painter.
