Master Art

In 1888, Laugé, born in Arzens in Aude (France), rediscovered his most important source of inspiration: the South. The painter settled first in Carcassonne before returning to Cailhau in 1895, when his father died.
Like in Paris, he experienced difficulties to impose his painting, too avant-garde for some people. However, he would participate in the Salon des Indépendants in 1894 and several exhibitions would be dedicated to him in Parisian galleries during the 1910-20s. Thanks to the support of art dealers, collectors and critics like Albert Sarault, Achille Astre or Maurice Fabre de Gasparets, Laugé would manage to sell his paintings and promote his work to the public.
