Francesc d’Asís Casademont was a Catalan painter associated with the Cercle Maillol, which was presided over by Josep Maria de Sucre and included other artists such as Charles Collet from whom Casademont learnt sculpture, ceramics, enamel and engraving. He also created book illustrations. His paintings of landscapes in Girona, for example of Cadaqués, and of Ibiza, are arranged compositions of placid colours and misty contours. In 1994 the Generalitat de Catalunya awarded him the Creu de Sant Jordi for his pedagogical work related to art and for his dissemination of Empordà landscapes around the world.
