Louis Legrand (1921-2015)<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Louis Legrand was born in 1963 in Dijon. Painter, watercolourist, engraver and illustrator, he is a multifaceted artist. <\/span><\/p>\n

After training at the School of Fine Arts in Dijon, he went to Paris in 1884 and became the student of the brilliant and sulphurous F\u00e9licien Rops who introduced him to various techniques including engraving. The teacher appreciates the aptitudes of his pupil. In a letter dated 1888 from F\u00e9licien Rops to Mr Roques, director of the weekly \u201c Le Courrier Fran\u00e7ais<\/i> \u201d he evokes \u201cthe precious and rare qualities, dominated by an extraordinary love of Louis Legrand’s modeling\u201d. he also writes \u201cYou can imagine that it never occurred to me to teach this fellow! Legrand began without help, like ducklings going to the pond, to make beautiful drawings which attracted the attention of artists and amateurs.<\/p>\n

From 1902, the artist participated in the Salons des Beaux Arts in Paris, at the Universal Exhibition of 1900 where he won a medal.
\nHe also exhibited at the Samuel Bing gallery and then in 1904 at the Georges Petit gallery. He was decorated with the Legion of Honor in 1906.
\nIn 1911, the Durand-Ruel gallery presented a major retrospective of his work.<\/p>\n

Before Toulouse-Lautrec, he depicted the Parisian nightlife of the Belle Epoque, the lively caf\u00e9s, the women, the cancan dancers.
\nThe Moulin Rouge ball in Paris has long been the artist’s studio.<\/p>\n

The publisher and art collector Gustave Pellet publishes 300 engravings from him and buys all his pastels from him. He also engraves erotic subjects for him.
\nHe is the painter of \u201cgay eroticism\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is present in many private collections.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
