Théo Kerg

Born in Niederkorn in 1909 and died in Chissey-en-Morvan in 1993, Théo Kerg was a Luxembourg artist whose practice encompassed painting, sculpture, printmaking and stained glass. He was an active member of the international group Abstraction-Création, which is based in Paris.

In 1947, he illustrated Paul Éluard’s collection Dignes de vivre with twenty woodcuts. Tactilism is at the centre of the retrospective of his work presented in 1975 at the musée des Beaux-Arts du Havre, under the title Naissance et évolution du tactilisme 1956–1974. From 14 December 2013 to 4 May 2014, the Musée national d’histoire et d’art de Luxembourg and the Cercle Cité organise a retrospective of his work.
