The City of Montigny-lès-Metz is organizing an exhibition at the Château de Courcelles dedicated to the Mosellan painter Edmond LOUYOT (1861-1920), titled 'Chapeau de paille et coquelicots'.
Born in 1861 in La Lobe/Arry, Edmond Louyot experienced the emblematic fate of a generation marked by political and territorial circumstances, becoming a cross-border citizen between France and Germany. This context influenced his artistic career.
He exhibited numerous times during his lifetime until 1919 before falling into obscurity after his death in La Lobe/Arry in 1920. Many of his works reflect his attachment to his roots and territory, where landscapes and people are major sources of inspiration.
Today, his works are scattered across Europe and the United States. His grandnephew, Michel LOUYOT, is dedicated to gaining recognition for his relative's work.
The exhibition 'Chapeau de paille et coquelicots' invites viewers to discover the work of this artist, whose fate was shaped by geography.
This will be the 100th exhibition organized at the Château de Courcelles in Montigny-lès-Metz, also marking the 20th anniversary of its rehabilitation in 2025.
The exhibition approaches the artist’s work through a scenographic plan contextualizing his work, his attachment, and the topographical uniqueness of the southern Messin region.
Good to know
Exhibition open to the public from Friday to Sunday, from 2 PM to 6 PM (excluding the annual closure of the Château de Courcelles from December 27 to 29 inclusive and from January 3 to 5, 2025 inclusive).
