Théo Kerg (2 June 1909 – 4 March 1993) was a Luxembourgish painter and sculptor who specialized in modern art.
[1] Kerg was born to a schoolmaster and his wife in Niederkorn, in south-western Luxembourg and attended school in Esch-sur-Alzette.
He moved to Paris in 1929 to study at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, the Sorbonne and the Institut d'Art et d'Archéologie.
He left Luxembourg in 1946, aiming to settle in Venezuela, but stopped in Paris where he illustrated a book by Paul Eluard.
He founded a movement he called "tactilism", whereby a work of art would appear differently depending on the lighting, the atmosphere and other environmental variables.
