visit
Face à Face is the title of an exceptional exhibition weaving a sensitive dialogue between two perspectives, two generations and two forms of expression. The works of Jean-Pierre Calteux (1911-1983) resonate with those of his granddaughter Christijeanne, a photographer, in an intimate encounter where heritage, transmission and contemporary creation meet.
Biography: Jean-Pierre Calteux, born June 12, 1911, in Luxembourg City and died October 9, 1983, was a Luxembourgish painter and graphic artist. After a serious accident during his carpentry apprenticeship resulting in the loss of his right hand, he turned to painting, studying at the École des arts décoratifs de Strasbourg. He became a teacher, poster designer, recipient of the Grand-Duc Adolphe Prize in 1954 and Chevalier de l'Ordre de la Couronne de Chêne in 1960.
Christijeanne, Jean-Pierre Calteux's granddaughter, is an art therapist, designer, and book author. Together with her father, Mr. Kirsch, she strives to preserve the memory of her grandfather through this tribute exhibition.
