Charles Edmond Kayser (1882 – 1965) was a French visual artist, teacher, arts administrator, and curator.
[1][5] In 1938, he was appointed director of the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs.
[1] From 1938 to 1941, Kayser served as the curator of the Musée national Adrien-Dubouché in Limoges, a role from which he was dismissed from because of antisemitism.
[1] The family moved to Avignon in the 1940s, where his wife died in 1945 from the inhalation of nitric acid while enameling.
[1][6] The Société des Artistes Indépendants organized a posthumous exhibition in 1979 of Kayser's work.
