Francesc Casademont

(Barcelona 1923-Girona, 2007) was a Catalan painter, whose name was Casademont le Vieux.

His family was originally from Figueres. He studied industrial engineering and fine arts at the Escuela de la Lonja and was involved with the Círculo Maillol (Joaquim Mir, Claude Collet and Josep Maria Sucre). His landscapes of the Girona regions (mainly Cadaqués and Ibiza) are characteristic, with an orderly and resolved composition with soft colors and slightly blurred profiles. Initially he also made engravings, with which he won the first prize from La Rosa Vera in 1951, and illustrations for bibliophile books from various publishers.

In 1994, the Generalitat of Catalonia awarded him the Cross of Sant Jordi for the pedagogical dissemination of art and the international dissemination of the Empordà landscapes and contemporary Catalan art.
