Fernand-Marie-Eugène Le Gout-Gérard

Fernand-Marie-Eugène Le Gout-Gérard was born in Saint-Lô in 1856 and died on 4 August 1924.

Subsequently he became a member of the "Société nationale des Beaux-Arts'" and the London '"Pastel Society".

His house, the villa Ty Ker Moor, became a meeting place of the artists known as the "Groupe de Concarneau".

In 1899 Legout-Gérard exhibited the painting "Derrière la ville close (Concarneau, temps gris)" to the Paris salon (La Société nationale des Beaux-Arts on the Champ-de-Mars).

He was the president of the "Comité de la fête des Filets bleus" an organization which strove to improve the lot of the local fisherman and took an active interest in preserving Concarneau's ramparts.
