He appeared at the Société nationale and at the Salon from 1889 to 1894 with paintings of Brittany, landscapes, scenes from the life of fishermen and sailors, to which one cannot refuse impressive nocturnal effects of mastery, and shimmering colors in his pastels. Legout-Gérard has participated in numerous international exhibitions. He is now one of the best-known painters of the “Concarneau group”.
