Eugène Alluaud

Gilbert Eugène Alluaud (25 March 1866, Saint-Martin-Terressus – 27 July 1947, Crozant) was a French landscape painter and ceramicist.

[1] He was appointed Conservator of the Musée national de la porcelaine Adrien-Dubouché [fr] in 1928, and held that position until 1934.

[2] In conjunction with these activities, he was always interested in art; inspired by his father, Amédée (1825-1872), an amateur collector who helped support the group of artists known as the Crozant School.

[3] This interest was reinforced when he became friends with the painter, Jules Adler, during his mandatory military service (1885-1886).

His best friends there included the poet, Maurice Rollinat, and the Impressionist painter Armand Guillaumin, who was a major influence on his middle-period style.
