Vous n'avez pas pu assister à la conférence de Frank Wilhelm dans le cadre de notre nouvelle campagne de crowdfunding à propos du Champion de Joseph Kutter? Pas d'inquiétude! La conférence a été enregistrée et peut désormais être consultée en ligne.
Feet on the pedals, Nicolas Frantz was known and loved in the Grand
Duchy because he provided his compatriots with many reasons to be proud
of their country - and of themselves. Brush and palette in hand, Joseph
Kutter had a hard time "breaking through" in his home country, where his
official recognition was only posthumous.
The cyclist and the artist met in Luxembourg, in the artist's studio, who then created a very quirky portrait of the champion. The result: a controversial work that perhaps reveals the personality of the painter rather than that of the model. In any case, it is a painting that, 90 years after its presentation in Paris, still raises questions.
